Intro Eb Bb F

Eb
  Ever since I pulled over

         Bb                       F
I've been looking for you in the strangest places

Eb                            Bb
    With desperation painted on my face and I'm shaking

      Gm                             Cm
As I check every car window in the parking lot

                         Gm
Swallowing these ashes whole

                              Bb
And know that soon I'll be en route to the hospital


--Chorus--

Eb              Bb        Eb          Gm
You think I've got it all 'til tires start to crawl

Eb          Bb                  Gm      F
I'm asleep at the wheel, this binge is monumental


Eb
Getting high in a borrowed car

     Bb                                  Eb
and listening to the songs that got me this far into my own head.

Bb
    Just thinking of this, always thinking of this

Gm                         Cm                       G#
    Put on a pair of sunglasses that turn February grey into everything
Gm                                   Eb
yellow. You'll always want to see as much of the sky

Eb                     Bb
As much of the sky as possible


--Chorus--

Eb               Bb          Eb         Gm
You'd think I've got it all 'til tires start to crawl

Eb          Bb                Gm          F
I'm asleep at the wheel, this binge is monumental

Eb             Bb        Eb                Gm
And I feel no pain at all when these tires screech down to a halt

Eb               Bb              Gm         F
  Asleep hitting the wall, this binge is monumental

Eb
Greet the world with a poker face
Through empty bottles in a haze

Bb                          Cm
They won't suspect a thing now will they?

Eb
Itemize your life in a panicked state
So you can sleep at night

                 Bb           Cm
And dream about never turning old and grey

Gm                    F            Gm         F
   Catching my breath now seems as useless as airplane conversations

G#           Gm              Eb
   'cause I enjoy toiling in all of my frustration!


--Chorus--
Eb             Bb           Eb        Gm
You think I've got it all 'til tires start to crawl

Eb         Bb                 Gm          F
I'm asleep at the wheel, this binge is monumental

Eb            Bb         Eb                 Gm
And I feel no pain at all when these tires screech down to a halt

Eb                Bb              Gm         F
   Asleep hitting the wall, this binge is monumental

    Gm       F               G#      Gm         Eb
My skin is peeling from the searing steel surrounding us

Eb Bb
