Intro:
Dm (2 bars)

[Verse 1]
A
  Just down the street from your hotel, baby
Bb
  I stay at home with my disease
A
  And aint this position familiar, darling
Bb
  Well, all monkeys do what they see
Bb
Help me stay awake, Im falling...

[Verse 2]
Down on virginia and la loma
Where I got friends wholl care for me
You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted
I got an attitude of need
Help me stay awake, Im falling...

[Chorus]
Bb
  Asleep in perfect blue buildings
Gm
  Beside the green apple sea
Bb
  Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby
Gm
  Try to keep myself away from me

Repeat intro

[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

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
Bb
I cant keep myself away from me
