Fast Asleep


Intro: D G (lead guitar still plays D but bass and rhythm change to G) Verse: D G Everybody wants a piece of some easy enterprise D G can't this world cut your face and carry the news that you've got a gift to be given? D G cut it out cut your loss, you don't dream you fantasize D G and this is how we measure the cost of enjoying the pain of 21 years of good living Chorus: Bm D when you look at me do you see someone with a future? Em G music to my ears it makes me happy when you tell me Bm D this place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing Em G one day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you D G sweat D G D G gotta take something great just to get me out of bed D G and I woke up with a start 'cause I had a dream, yes I had a vision of people D C# Bm lying in the sun D/A sleeping on the rocks and stones Em waiting just to die F#m they were just fast asleep like lions G they were just fast asleep like lions in summer Chorus: when you look at me do you see someone with a future? music to my ears it makes me happy when you tell me this place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing one day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you (stay on G for a bit) Bm D/A swear all the years of wasted time G half divine D C# half what you could be Bm Bbaug oh, all this time they let this city D/A get sad and empty G#m7b5 'cause they're only half awake Gmaj7 when you look at me do you see someone with a future? Gmaj7 Bbaug one day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you Bm sweat Bbaug --- -3- -3- -4- -1- --- G#m7b5 --- -3- -4- -4- -x- -4- Gmaj7 --- -3- -4- -4- -5- -3-
