Just down the [C] street from your [Bb] hotel, baby
[D] I stay at [C] home with my [Bb] disease
[Dm] Ain't best position, [Bb] familiar, darling
[Dm] Well all monkeys [A] do what they [Bb] see
[G] Help me stay awake, I'm falling
[Dm] South [G] Virginia and La [Bb] Loma
[Dm] Where I got [C] friends who care [Bb] for me
[Dm] You got an [C] attitude of [Bb] everything I [F] ever wanted
[Dm] I got [A] an attitude of [Bb] me
So [G] help me stay awake, [Bb] I'm falling
[F] Asleep [C] in perfect [Gm] blue buildings
[F] Side [C] the green apple [Gm] to see
[F] I'm gonna get [C] me a little [Gm] living, living
[F] I'm trying to keep [C] myself [Bb] away from [Dm] me
It's 4 [C].30am on [Bb] a Tuesday
[Dm] Doesn't [C] get much worse [Bb] than this
[Dm] In beds [C] and little rooms and [Bb] buildings
In [F] the middle of [D] these lives
Which are [F] completely [Bb] meaningless
[Bb] Help [G] me stay awake, [Bb] I'm falling
[F] [C] Asleep in perfect [Gm] blue buildings

[Gm] Well [Bb]
[Dm]
[G] I got bones beneath [Bb] my skin, mister
[Dm] There's a [C] skeleton in every [Bb] man's house
[Dm] [C] Beneath the dust and [Bb] love and sweat that hang on every [Dm] body
As the [C] dead man turns [Bb] an owl
[G] So please help me stay awake, [Bb] I'm falling
