[Verse 1]
C F C
Everything leads up to this
B7 Em E7
Everything we do

Just to get back to the couch
D7 G
And watch some junk with you
[Verse 2]
C F C
If you need an alibi
B7 Em E7
You can count on me

I will say you were by my side
D7 G
Just like you’ll always be

The timeline’s slowing

The window’s glowing

We swept us off of our feet

There’s nowhere to go but to sleep
C G C
There’s nowhere to go but to sleep
[Verse 1]
C F C
You can not come home again
B7 Em E7
If you never leave

Don't forget to now and then
D7 G
To doubt what you believe
[Chorus]

The timeline’s slowing

The window’s glowing

We swept us off of our feet

There’s nowhere to go but to sleep

There’s nowhere to go but to
[Bridge]
Ab Bb Gm Cm
Sleep until the morning and then sleep a little longer
Ab Bb Eb
Where do you go when you’re awake?
Ab Bb Gm Cm
We'll keep on floating but the current’s getting stronger
Ab G7 C
Why do we leave when we could stay?

There’s nowhere to go but to sleep
