[Intro]

[Verse 1]
  Am
Receiving department, 3 a. m.
G6
Staff cuts have socked up the overage.
     C
Directives are posted, no callbacks,
complaints
Everywhere is calm.
D#5
Hong Kong is present,
Dm
Taipei awakes.
    F                 G
All talk of circadian rhythm

[Chorus]
  C        Dm      Am         Em
I see today  with a  newsprint  fray
  C         Dm     G
My night is colored headache grey
   C       Dm Am Em   C
Daysleeper,        daysleeper,
Dm G   C
    daysleeper

[Verse 2]
        Am                                      G6
The bull  and the bear are marking their territories,
        C
They're leading the blind with their international glories
D#5                     Dm
I'm the screen, the blinding light
F                G
 I'm the screen, I work at night

[Chorus]
 C         Dm      Am         Em
I see today  with a  newsprint  fray.
  C         Dm     G
My night is colored headache grey.
 C           Dm    Am Em C    Dm
Don't wake me  with  s__o much
G   C
 Daysleeper.

[Verse 3]
     Am
They cried the other night
G6
I can't even say why.
       C
Fluorescent, flat, caffeine lights,
It`s furious balancing
D#5                     Dm
I'm the screen, the blinding light
F                G
 I'm the screen, I work at night

[Chorus]
 C         Dm      Am         Em
I see today  with a  newsprint  fray.
  C         Dm     G
My night is colored headache grey.
 C           Dm    Am Em C    Dm
Don't wake me  with  s__o much
G    C       Dm       Am       Em
 The Ocean machine is set to 9,
     C            Dm        G
I'll squeeze into heaven and valentine.
  C       Dm        Am        Em
My bed is pulling me  gravity.
   C       Dm G   C      Dm
Daysleeper,    daysleeper
Am   Em C      Dm G   C
  Day__sleeper,    daysleeper,
Dm Am   Em C      Dm G
     day__sleeper.
