Insomnia by Wintersleep
Insomnia
Tuning is Drop D 1/2 step down (Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)
I believe the band only plays in drop D, however, so I will work on figuring out the
version later.

On the fourth time around, the end changes a bit:

Repeat that particular pattern throughout the song, and you've got your verses!
And I will not grow tired
of crayon stars and fire
The sunlight has punctured tiny holes
of light
Here comes the tricky part to figure out, I may very well be off on this, but at least
fits the vocals.
I closed my eyes
I held my breath,
I prayed for light,
and gasped for oxygen,
It wasn't there.

Then close with the intro/verse picking, but slow it down a bit.
I will not grow tired
of crayon stars and fire
the sunlight has punctured
tiny holes of life
I closed my eyes
I held my breath
I prayed for light
and gasped for oxygen
it wasn't there
I couldn't see
to scare the shadow out of me
I couldn't sleep
