Falling Asleep At The Wheel

[First Part]


Oh you never smoked
            Am
This much before we met
      C                    F
Light up, light up another cigarette
                                Am
I can tell you’re drinking only to 
forget
      C                     F
Don’t know how I got you in such a 
mess

[Pre-Chorus]

             Am                    
How am I supposed to be your ray of
 C
 light?
                  F
Your ray of light?

I get dark sometimes

Does it pass you by?
Am                            C
I should be your ray of light
                  F
Your ray of light

[Chorus]

        G
But I’m falling
  Am       G            F
Falling asleep at the wheel
  Am       G            F
Guess I forgot how to feel

Just for a second you’re talking
    G
But I’m just pretending
Continues after the ad
   Am
You have my attention
    G
I’m falling
  Am       G            F
Falling asleep at the wheel
  Am       G            F
I made you think it was real
F
If you think we’re strong enough

Come on and wake me up

[Second Part]

                               Am
You never looked this tense before 
we met
     C                       
Back up, back when we were so 
  F
innocent
                            Am
Oh, this emotion that we're buried 
in
      C                     F
Tied up, fired up on this adrenaline

[Pre-Chorus]

             Am                    
How am I supposed to be your ray of
  C
 light?
               F
Your ray of light?

Not a cloud in sight

What a perfect night
Am                           C
I should be your ray of light
               F
Your ray of light

But that’s not me

[Chorus]

        G
But I’m falling
  Am       G            F
Falling asleep at the wheel
  Am       G            F
Guess I forgot how to feel

Just for a second you’re talking
    G
But I’m just pretending
   Am          F
You have my attention
    G
I’m falling
  Am       G            F
Falling asleep at the wheel
  Am       G            F
I made you think it was real
F
If you think we’re strong enough

Come on and wake me up

[Outro]

           Am  C
Wake me up
         F
Wake me up, wake me up
                   Am
If you think we're strong enough
C                     F
  Come on and wake me up

Wake me up, wake me up
