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". -Standard Tuning- -Capo 2nd Fret- The chords are played as follows" *All chords relative to the capo G: 320033 D: xx0232 Cadd9: x32033 Am: x02210 Esus: 022200 E: 022100 Em7: 022033 Gsus: 3x0013 D6: xx0202 C6: x32210 C: x32010 D7sus: xx0213 D7: xx0212
[Intro] D (x2) [Verse 1] D Driving home to be with you D The highway's dividing, the city's in view E As usual, I'm almost on time E You're the last thing that's on my mind D I wish I could tell you the way that I feel G But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel [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 G With the Jaws of Life they tried and they tried Nobody here can know how I feel Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel [Bridge] D I guess it's over now G Cause I've never seen so much Cadd9 Never seen so much, never seen so much D Never seen so much D I guess it's over now G Cause I've never seen so much Cadd9 Never seen so much, never 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 D And you... [Coda] D You're the last thing on my mind D You're the last thing on my mind D You're the last thing on my mind D You're the last thing on my mind D7 G (Strumming rapidly)
