[Verse 1]
Dm            C                Bb
Just down the street from your hotel, baby

Dm        C            Bb
I stay at home with my disease

Dm             C          Bb
And ain't this position familiar, darling

Dm                C            Bb
Well, all monkeys do what they see

Gm                        Bb
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...
[Verse 2]
Dm          C            Bb
Down on Virginia and La Loma

Dm            C                     Bb
Where I got friends who'll care for me

Dm            C         Bb   
You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted

Dm        C          Bb
I got an attitude of need

Gm                        Bb
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...
[Chorus]
    F         C            Bb
    Asleep in perfect blue buildings

    F          C           Bb
    Beside the green apple sea

    F              C       Bb
    Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby

    F             C     Bb        1.| Dm**   2.|              F
    Try to keep myself away from    | me       | (myself and) me
| | [Verse 3]
Dm          C         Bb
It's 4:30 A.M. on a Tuesday

Dm         C                   Bb
It doesn't get much worse than this

Dm               C            Bb
In beds in little rooms in buildings in the middle

Dm               C                   Bb
of these lives which are completely meaningless

Gm                       Bb
Help me stay awake, I'm falling...
[Chorus]
    F         C            Bb
    Asleep in perfect blue buildings

    F          C           Bb
    Beside the green apple sea

    F              C       Bb
    Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby

    F             C     Bb        1.| Dm**   2.|              F
    Try to keep myself away from    | me       | (myself and) me
| | [Verse 4]
Dm           C                    Bb
I got bones beneath my skin, and mister...

Dm            C                   Bb
There's a skeleton in every man's house

Dm                     C                  Bb
Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody

Dm         C              Bb
There's a dead man trying to get out

Gm                         Bb
Please help me stay awake, I'm falling...
[Chorus]
    F         C            Bb
    Asleep in perfect blue buildings

    F          C           Bb
    Beside the green apple sea

    F              C       Bb
    Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby

    F             C     Bb        1.| Dm**   2.|              F
    Try to keep myself away from    | me       | (myself and) me
