Oedipus

           B
A race car bed
                                A
He never got to get tucked into one
                         B
Bedtime could've been so fun

[Pre-Chorus]
                   A
Life will pass you by so fast
         B
She said bow your head and get your knees
                                        A                             E
And pray the Lord hands you the keys to drive away your bad bad dreams
B
Aaah aah aaah aah aah
        A       E
And fall asleep

[Chorus]
C#m             B
Oedipus, oedipus
    A                    E
Now isn't this all a mess
C#m                        B                      A E
Trying to leave the oracle buried back in the past
Continues after the ad
C#m             B
Oedipus, oedipus
A                           E
Come on, get up, get dressed
                  C#m B  A
Life will pass you by so fast

[Verse 2]
           B
A race car bed
                                   A
Became a thought to get out of his head
                         B
He had grown too old for them

[Pre-Chorus]
                   A
Life will pass you by so fast
         B
She said bow your head and get your knees
                                        A                              E
And pray the Lord hands you the keys to drive away your bad bad dreams
B
Aaah aah aaah aah aah
         A           E
And fall asleep (fall asleep)

[Bridge]
C#m                       B
All he ever wanted was to lay his head
     A                         E
On a pillow on a mattress on a race car bed
C#m                             B
Every single night he'd say the same old prayer
         A                         B
And he'd open up his eyes a little more aware

[Chorus]
C#m             B
Oedipus, oedipus
    A                    E
Now isn't this all a mess
C#m                        B                      A E
Trying to leave the oracle buried back in the past
C#m             B
Oedipus, oedipus
A                           E
Come on, get up, get dressed
                  C#m B  A    B
Life will pass you by so fast
           A       B
You'll fall asleep
