R.E.M. - Daysleeper

C      Cmaj7  x4

C     Cmaj7      C        Cmaj7
Receiving department, 3 AM
C     Cmaj7      C        Cmaj7
Staff cuts have socked up the overage
C     Cmaj7      C      Cmaj7
Directives are posted No call backs, complaints
C     Cmaj7      C    Cmaj7
Everywhere is calm


D#                              Dm
Hong Kong is present, Taipei wakes up
F                        G
Talk of Secadian rhythm

Chorus:
C               Dm          Am      Em
I see today with a newsprint frame
C           D             G
My night is colored headache-grey
C             Dm             Am       Em
Daysleeper, daysleeper
C            D           G
daysleeper

Repeat chords form remaining verses

The bull and the bear are marking their territories
They're leading the blind with their international glories


I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night

Chorus:
I see today with a newsprint frame
My night is colored headache-grey
Don't wake me
You're so much
Daysleeper

Dsus4    x2

Bridge:
C      Cmaj7      C      
I cried the other night
C      Cmaj7      C      
I can't even say why
C      Cmaj7      C      
flourescent, flat, caffeine lights
C      Cmaj7      C      
It's furious balancing


I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night

Chorus:
I see today with a newsprint frame
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me (you're) so much
The ocean machine is set to night
I'll squeeze into heaven and Valentine
My bed is pulling me, gravity, daysleeper
Daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper, daysleeper
