Am
One faithful night I was driving around town
F
It was late, I was tired and feeling down
Dm
I like to drive to take my mind off all the stuff
B E
That stresses me out and that keeps me up
Am
And sometimes when I'm driving I put two and two together
F
I'd read the email earlier that day but thought, "no never"
Dm
Surely it couldn't be, surely this wasn't true
B E
The person who betrayed me, who stole it all, was you
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
I took my knife and I held it right in front of him
Dm E
To teach him a lesson in suffering
[Chorus]
A
And now he sleeps (he sleeps)
With one eye open (God knows)
F#m
Oh God knows I told him
D
I guess he thought that I was joking
E
But now his face is broken (I'm not)
A
I'm not the kind of girl that
F#m
Would normally worry that
D
Cut it out so I could show him
E
Now he sleeping with one eye open
[Verse 2]
Am
Let me back this up, I can explain
F
I forgot to mention I've been driving in the rain
Dm
I was in shock, a sort of catatonic state
B E
But I tried to speak, I tried to breathe, I couldn't break
Am
The car it flipped, I flew into a ditch
F
It was in the hospital I first got the edge
Dm
I was laying in my blood soaked clothes when I knew what to do
B E
Almost dying, it made me want to hurt you
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F
I took my knife and I held it right in front of him
Dm E
To teach him a lesson in suffering
[Chorus]
A
And now he sleeps (he sleeps)
With one eye open (God knows)
F#m
Oh God knows I told him
D
I guess he thought that I was joking
E
But now his face is broken (I'm not)
A
I'm not the kind of girl that
F#m
Would normally worry that
D
Cut it out so I could show him
E
Now he sleeping with one eye open
A
That's what he's got now, one eye open
F#m
Ooh, one eye open
D
That's what he's got now, one eye open
E
One eye open
[Bridge] (strum each chord once)
Am
I kept it as a souvenir
F
So you can see I'm always here
Dm
I wear it like a locket around my neck
B E
It's watching out for me so I never forget
[Chorus]
A
And now he sleeps (he sleeps)
With one eye open (God knows)
F#m
Oh God knows I told him
D
I guess he thought that I was joking
E
But now his face is broken (I'm not)
A
I'm not the kind of girl that
F#m
Would normally worry that
D
Cut it out so I could show him
E
Now he sleeping with one eye open
A
That's what he's got now, one eye open
F#m
Ooh, one eye open
D
That's what he's got now, one eye open
E
One eye open
