[Verse 3]
Its 4:30 a.m. on a tuesday
It doesnt get much worse than this
In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle of these lives
which are completely meaningless
Help me stay awake, Im falling...
[Chorus]
Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby
Try to keep myself away from myself and me
F F C C Gm Gm Bb Bb (x2)
Repeat intro
[Verse 4]
I got bones beneath my skin, and mister...
Theres a skeleton in every mans house
Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody
Theres a dead man trying to get out
Please help me stay awake, Im falling...
[Chorus]
Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Beside the green apple sea
Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby
Try to keep myself away from me
Outro
BbI cant keep myself away from me
How am I gonna keep myself away from me
