Verse 1:  
D       Em    Bm  
Welcome back, insomnia  
D       G         Bm      A         D            Em       Bm  
Ushered back into silence only when everyone else  is sleeping  
D              Em     Bm  
And 'cause the city?is?sleeping  
D      G           Bm         A         D                G    Bm   A  
No one ruthless?is rushing to get to the?front of the line, as usual

'Cause I am losing the plot  
Bm9     G           D          A  
I am grieving the end of superwomaning  
Bm9     G           D  
I have laid down my cape  
      G               A          Bm             D  
As though I haven't risen like a phoenix from a thousand deaths  
      G               A             Bm                D       Bm9  G    D  
As though I have not been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead yet

Verse 2:
D   Em         Bm  
I'm exhausted, Midas  
D   Em       Bm          A         D  
Reigniting a hunger that typically fuels those of us  
      Em            Bm  
Still searching for something outside ourselves  
 D          Em         Bm  
'Cause this city bears violence  
 D       Em      Bm         A          D  
And everybody is rushing to sob at the podium  
    Em                 Bm  
And thank for ones who loved and exploited well

      G               A             Bm                D       Bm9  G   F#7  
As though I have not been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead yet  
    
Bridge:
    Bm           Em         C#m  F#  
The light at the end of the tunnel  
    Bm          Em    A      F#m        Bm  Em  C#m  
The one I have always prayed for is a train  
     F#                 Bm  Em  F#  
At a hundred miles per hour  
                     Bm  
And it promises to break my bones if I don't stand still  
                                    Bm9  G  D  
Rip my heart out, ambition mill or bust  
                      Bm9  G  D  A  
With my relevance in dust

      G               A             Bm                D       Bm9  G  
As though I have not been reborn to notice that my mission is not dead  
      G                    A             Bm            D  
As though this fame and pressure has not been a vice around my head  
      G                A               Bm         D            Bm9  G  D  
As though my heart has not kept all my cynicism under the mattress  
   
                    Bm9  G  D  
And I can't keep it up  
                       Bm      G  D  
Though the fire is not out yet  
Bm   G          D  
I am losing the plot
