G D Cadd9 D
[Verse]
G D Cadd9 D Driving home to be with you G D Cadd9 D The highway's dividing, the city's in view Am Esus4 E As usual, I'm almost on time Am Esus4 E You're the last thing that's on my mind G D Cadd9 D I wish I could tell you the way that I feel Em7 G D G But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
[Verse]
G D Cadd9 D No commotion, no screaming brakes G D Cadd9 D Most of it's over before I awake G D Cadd9 D From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips G D Cadd9 D While out my window, the horizon does flips Am Esus4 E The worst part was hitting the ground Am Esus4 E Not the feeling so much as the sound G D Cadd9 D Can't help but wonder if all this is real Em7 G D G Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
[Verse]
G D Cadd9 D Rubberneck traffic and passersby G D Cadd9 D And Slow Motion Walter the fire engine guy Am Esus4 E Stand around with their mouths open wide Am Esus4 E I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside Cadd9 G Cadd9 G With the Jaws of Life they tried and they tried G D Cadd9 D Nobody here can know how I feel Em7 G D Cadd9 Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel
[Bridge]
G D Cadd9 D I guess it's over now G Cause I've never seen so much Cadd9 G Never seen so much, never seen so much Cadd9 Never seen so much G D Cadd9 D I guess it's over now G Cause I've never seen so much Cadd9 G Never seen so much, never seen so much D Bloooooooood!
[Verse]
G D Cadd9 D In all the confusion, there's something serene G D Cadd9 D I'm just a posthumous part of the scene Am Esus4 E Now I'm floating above looking in Am Esus4 E As the radio blares and wheels spin G D Cadd9 D I can see my face slump with a grin D And you...
[Coda]
G D Cadd9 D You're the last thing on my mind G D Cadd9 D You're the last thing on my mind G D Cadd9 D You're the last thing on my mind G D Cadd9 D You're the last thing on my mind
