1. _ Sleep
Sleep, sleep, sleep
How we love to sleep
At the close of day
When the joys of the day fade away and the memories sweet
Of the day repeat
In our dreams they creep
While we sleep, sleep, sleep
It seems that daytime was just made for laughter and song
Evening brings romance to lovers as they stroll along
Night time brings rest to the weary
Sooths all the hearts that are dreary
Leaves us alone with our day dreams
Brings back sweet golden love dreams while we sleep, sleep, sleep
How we love to sleep
At the close of day
When the joys of the day fade away and the memories sweet
Of the day repeat
In our dreams they creep

3. _ I Could Get Used To This
pre>(it's in bbm)
I could get used to this
So far-
Or should i take it just a little farther
So good-
And if i think about it, it gets better
I could get used to this
I could get used to this
I could get used to
Feeling the way that i do
So long-
Or should i stay just a little longer
So much
For keeping it a secret
I could get used to this
I could get used to this
I could get used to
Feeling the way that i do
Oh, all the times i told myself
I could never fall in love
Love is just too difficult
Oh, too bad
I'm only talking to myself about it
So sad-
I guess i'm going to have to live without
I could get used to this
I could get used to this
I could get used to
Feeling the way that i do
I know, i know, i know how it goes
Baby, will i get the chance?
I could get used to
Feeling the way that i do.

7. _ Love In A Vacuum
pre>
(mostly a b a b)
Love in a vacuum
There was a time
You opened up every doorway
You didn't mind if everything
Wasn't your way
Don't pull away
That goes against what you told me
I look in your eyes
I realize what you've sold me
Is love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
I think you've changed
But you insist that
That's not true
You look so strange, so distant
That you're hardly you
Now i can see
How you have been acting different
You say it's me
But i know
That it isn't
It's love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
And that's not enough
Love in a vacuum
You will be lonely
You'll be the only one who feels this way
You will be lonely
If you leave me alone
You will be lonely
You'll be the only one who feels this way
It's just not enough
And just wait
You will be lonely
Love in a vacuum
Love in a vacuum
And that's not enough
Love in a vacuum

10. _ You Know The Rest
pre>
(it's in f#)
Here i go again
Making promises
If i tell you no
It still sounds like yes
You know the rest
Do i have to say it?
Am i in too deep?
Can i still confess?
-when you trusted me
That was just a guess
I guess
You know the rest
You know the rest
Do i have to say it?
Well, i warned you once
But without success
And i just escape
With my heart
A mess
Know the rest
(it's not so easy)
You know the rest
(its not that easy)
Do i have to say it?
You know the rest.

12. _ Winning The War
pre>
You fight just for the sake of it
You know what hurts the most
You might have once been faking it
But now it cuts too close
Em f#m bm
Winning the war
Em f#m bm
And losing every battle
Em f#m bm
You close the door
Em f#m bm
On happy ever after
We should have stopped it long ago
When there was love still
But we would give in to ego
And never stop until
Winning the war
And losing every battle
You close the door
On happy ever after
I know, you know
Winning the war
Is not winning at all
I know, you know
Winning the war
Is not winning at all
Winning the war
And losing every battle
You close the door
On happy ever after
