The Saddest Thing I Know
guitar chords lyrics
E Am E Am
How long you been asleep at the wheel? Out of control gathering up speed
E Am G
Your heart is on the dashboard, head's in the street I hope that you wake up
E
in time to scream
12-8-10-7-8-5-7-0-12-8-10-8-7- High E string trill picking (rapid)
E Am E Am
Race me for tail or for heads Your attitude is mud and your promise is dead
E Am E
You counteract the fuel with the drink and the drugs It's not what you did,
Am E Am
it's what you will do So take another turn on the merry-go-round Your
E Am E
numbers all come up now you're king of the town So buckle up and chase
Am G E
yourself a new thrill You're never going to feel like before
Am E Am E
You keep coming back for more to find the old wolf knocking on your door
C G E
Say man, you are the saddest thing I know
Am E Am
You got a cold sweat begging for a score, you lose it all as you stumble to
E C G E
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
Am E Am E
You keep coming up for air to find your own foot pushing on your head
C G E
Say man, you are the saddest thing I know
Am E Am
I see that dried up blood that's in your hair, you've got the old
E C G E
kaleidoscopic stare Say man, you are the saddest thing I know
E Am E
When are you going to finally admit it's the end of the line, you've been
Am E Am
hammered and hit Your body is a wreck and your mind is amiss I know what you
E Am
want, I think this is it
