Fast Asleep

• D

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
