Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel chords by Barenaked Ladies
Guitar chords with lyrics
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).

[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
