The Saddest Thing I Know


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
