Standard (EADGBE)

How long you been asleep at the wheel? Out of control gathering up speed

 Your heart is on the dashboard, head's in the street I hope that you wake up

 in time to scream

12-8-10-7-8-5-7-0-12-8-10-8-7- High E string trill picking (rapid)

 Race me for tail or for heads Your attitude is mud and your promise is dead

 You counteract the fuel with the drink and the drugs It's not what you did,

 it's what you will do So take another turn on the merry-go-round Your

 numbers all come up now you're king of the town So buckle up and chase

 yourself a new thrill You're never going to feel like before

 You keep coming back for more to find the old wolf knocking on your door

 Say man, you are the saddest thing I know

 You got a cold sweat begging for a score, you lose it all as you stumble to

 the floor Say man, you are the saddest thing I know

12-8-10-7-8-5-7-0-12-15-10-7-8-10-12- High E string trill pick

 You keep coming up for air to find your own foot pushing on your head

 Say man, you are the saddest thing I know

 I see that dried up blood that's in your hair, you've got the old

 kaleidoscopic stare Say man, you are the saddest thing I know

 When are you going to finally admit it's the end of the line, you've been

 hammered and hit Your body is a wreck and your mind is amiss I know what you

 want, I think this is it
