Capo: 2
This is a really great and easy song to play. Definitely one of my favorites. It
can be played on an acoustic guitar, or a banjitar (how BNL play it). It's off the
2000 album "Maroon".

[Intro]
G, D, Cadd9, D (x2)
[Verse 1]
GDriving Dhome to Cadd9be with Dyou
The Ghighway's divDiding, the cCadd9ity's in viDew
Am As usual, I'm Esusalmost on Etime
Am You're the last thing Esusthat's on my Emind
I Gwish I could telDl you the Cadd9way that I fDeel
But tonEm7ight is the nGight I fell aslDeep at the wGheel
[Verse 2]
No commotion, no screaming brakes
Most of it's over before I awake
From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips
While out my window, the horizon does flips
The worst part was hitting the ground -
Not the feeling so much as the sound
Can't help but wonder if all this is real
Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
[Verse 3]
Rubberneck traffic and passersby
And Slow Motion Walter the fire engine guy
Stand around with their mouths open wide
I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside
Cadd9 With the JGaws of Life they tCadd9ried and they tGried
Nobody here can know how I feel
Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
[Bridge]
GI Dguess it's Cadd9over Dnow
Cause I've Gnever seen so much
DNever seen so much, Cadd9never seen so much
DNever seen so much
GI Dguess it's Cadd9over Dnow
Cause I've Gnever seen so much
DNever seen so much, Cadd9never seen so much
D (Strum rapidly, then let ring)
Bloooooooood!
[Verse 4]
In all the confusion, there's something serene
I'm just a posthumous part of the scene
Now I'm floating above looking in
As the radio blares and wheels spin
I can see my face slump with a grin
And Dyou...
[Coda]
You're the Glast thing Don my mCadd9ind D
You're the Glast thing Don my mCadd9ind D
You're the Glast thing Don my mCadd9ind D
You're the Glast thing Don my mCadd9ind D
