[Verse]
. E                                      G#m
the water was cool and youre shining
A                                                       C#m
the windows were burning patterns in my mind
E                             G#m
running away was so tiring
A
holding your stare
C#m
i felt miles behind
E                                           G#m
how do you love when youre frightened?
A                                                         C#m
the thought of me fucking up all these threads
E                                           G#m
situations i know are just passing
A                             C#m
im holding on for you
E
and static feel

[Chorus]
G#m
the light ran down the wall
B
holding back the stars
A
dividing us in new ways
E
away from sleep
G#m
confusion has its cost
B
wave pools in the dark
A
crashing round my head

How to play How To Sleep: key, chords and progression

How To Sleep by EDEN keeps coming home to E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). You need 5 chords: E, G#m, A, C#m and B.

Listen for E – G#m – A – C#m (I – iii – IV – vi in E major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – mi – fah – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes C, Em, F, Am, G (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
