F#m               E/G#       A    B
I'm done hating myself for feeling
C#m                E     B  G#m
I'm done crying myself awake
F#m                    E/G#     A     B
I've gotta leave and start the healing
             C#m                     E       B
But when you move like that, I just want to stay

     G#m     F#m        E/G#
But what have I become? I'm
A                               B
Looking through your phone now, oh now
C#m             E      B
Love to you is just a game
G#m      F#m           E/G#
Look what I have done, I'm
A                      B
Dialing up the numbers on you
C#m              E         B
I don't want my heart to break

Chorus:
      F#m                               E/G#
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
A                            B
All that shame and all that danger
C#m                            E      B
I'm hoping that my love will keep you up tonight
 G#m F#m                                E/G#
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
A                            B
All that fear and all that pressure
C#m                           E       B
I'm hoping that my love will keep you up tonight

Oh, no, how did I manage to lose me?
I am not this desperate, not this crazy
There's no way I'm stickin' 'round to find out
I won't lose like that, I won't lose myself

Look what I have done (Done)
Diallin' up the numbers on you
I don't want my heart to break

Chorus:
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that shame and all that danger
I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that fear and all that pressure
I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight

(Tell me, how do you—)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love will keep you up tonight
(Tell me, how do you—)
Oh, love will keep you up tonight

Chorus:
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that shame and all that danger
I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me? (Oh)
All that fear and all that pressure (Oh)
I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight
(Tell me, how do you—)
