Ben Folds – Half Asleep (Guitar)

Gm7
Half asleep,   half a billboard

Fmaj7  Bbmaj7
Half a street, that's my window

Am7    Dm7
All in all

       Gm7   Am7       Bbmaj7
If you wanna know, I'm half asleep

G7
Old friends and strangers

     Cm7             F7     Bbmaj7
They treat me like a little girl

        Am7        Am7/G
But not you dear

         D/F#        D/E  D
You were always here

    D7+         Gm9
But back in the black and white spotlight

      Fm9
And I smoked a packed house

    Gm9
And you were sitting pretty then

     Fm9         Abmaj9
Just like you're doing now

      Ebmaj9            D7/F#
I was something then or so they say

  Bbmaj9          F/C   Faug/C#  D7
I could have gone all   the      way

Dm7                F/C           G7/B    G7
   Like everything else I did it halfway

Gm7
Half asleep, that's where the dreams and

Fmaj7  Bbmaj7
Demons meet, say stop the laughter

Am7     Dm7
Dim the roar

     Gm7         Am7   Bbmaj7
This clown's not funny anymore

G7
Friends used to say that to me

Cm7             F7     Bbmaj7
Treat me like a little girl

        Am7        Am7/G
But not you dear

         D/F#        D/E  D
You were always here

     D7+          Gm9
Like back when we tripped the light out of sight

    Fm9
The band would play

            Gm9
I'd sing my heart out for a drunken crowd

   Fm9           Abmaj9
It didn't mean a thing

           Ebmaj9        D7/F#
Oh we were so in love, I loved you so

Bbmaj9  F/C            Faug/C#  D7
That it seemed like an hour    ago

    Ab       Cm/G     F7
And when I'm down and out

  C      G/B    Am7  G6
I try to figure out

     Ab          Cm6               F7
What was it all about? Why was the spark always there?

  C         G/B
I only know now

  Dm7        Fmaj7b5/G
I wanna take another breath

Gm7
Half asleep, do do do do do

Fmaj7  Bbmaj7
Do do  Do      Do do do do do

Dm7              C/E       F
No keep talking, I'm still here

Dm7                     C/E     F
Don't let them take you away my dear

Dm7           C/E      F              Bbmaj9
Someone said "He can't hear you, he's half asleep"

Abmaj9
Half asleep
