Asleep At The Wheel

Cm                      Ab
I'll buy some cigarettes and smoke 
them on the beach
Eb                       Bb
I'll walk home alone and douse my 
whole bedroom in bleach
Cm               Ab
Because I feel safe behind these 
four brick walls
Eb                            
But my skin's too thin so can I 
             Cm
borrow yours?

[Pre-Chorus]

     Ab                     Bb
It's just enough to let you walk out
 of that door
Bb
Knowing you left your head at home

[Chorus]

Ab            Eb         Bb
I'll close my eyes but I haven't 
dreamed in weeks
     Ab                    Cm     
I'll board up all of my windows 
     Bb
and sedate myself with sleep
          Ab   Eb              
Cause I'm not giving up, but not 
         Ab
getting up
Ab    Cm             Bb         
Still here and it's all because 
      Ab
of me

Continues after the ad
[Verse 2]

Cm                      Bb       
Because I wished it was bright so
                        Ab
 i'll just wait for the light
Ab
I'm sick of hearing I'm wrong 
instead of hearing I'm right
Eb                       Bb
I'm sick of hearing that everything 
is fine

[Bridge]

Ab
All I ever wanted to be
    Cm                            
Was safe in the comfort of my own 
Eb
company
Ab                                
All that you ever needed from me 
      Cm
was for me to be conscious
                     Eb         Ab
And act like there's nothing wrong

[Chorus]

Ab            Eb         Bb
I'll close my eyes but I haven't 
dreamed in weeks
     Ab                    Cm     
I'll board up all of my windows 
     Bb
and sedate myself with sleep
          Ab   Eb              
Cause I'm not giving up, but not 
         Ab
getting up
Ab    Cm             Bb         
Still here and it's all because 
      Ab
of me

Cm Ab Eb Bb

Cm                     Ab
I fell asleep with the weight of the
 world
         Eb
Crushing me until I'm gone

Until I'm gone

[Chorus]

Ab            Eb         Bb
I'll close my eyes but I haven't 
dreamed in weeks
     Ab                    Cm     
I'll board up all of my windows 
     Bb
and sedate myself with sleep
          Ab   Eb              
Cause I'm not giving up, but not 
         Ab
getting up
Ab    Cm             Bb         
Still here and it's all because 
      Ab
of me
