Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][G][D][Bm][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Do you ever stop
to count all the invita[Bm]tions[G]
At the [D]end of the day when
it comes down to one de[Bm]cision
[G]Of [D]dead beat girls and freaks
at a peoples con[Bm]vention[G]
[D]All these sugars with no vitamin
sensa[Bm]tion[G]
[D][Bm][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]Do you ever stop to look
over old rela[Bm]tions[G]
Or [D]look to the belly of another
one's emo[Bm]tions[G]
[D]Someone young in the winds
of a revolu[Bm]tion[G]
[D]Trying to save his face in the
[G]evolu[Bm]tion[G]

[Verse 3]
[A]Asleep at the [D]wheel
[G]No wind[A]shield
[F#]But you know that the streets
Here don't [Bm]change[A][D]
[Bm]
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
[Bm][G]
He's kept [D]alive in the chain of
mental [G]starva[Bm]tion[G]
[D]Bone rail skinny,
only feeding [G]off frus[Bm]tration[G]
[D]Unlike you who seem bred
[G]from corrup[Bm]tion[G]
[D]Feeding off the plates of an
un[Bm]united nation[G]

[Verse 5]
[A]Asleep at the [D]wheel
[G]No wind[A]shield
[F#]But you know that the streets
Here don't [Bm]change[A][D]
[Bm][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[Bm][G]
With a [D]lover in the street whose waiting
to make a connec[Bm]tion[G]
To [D]be the mother to the soul
of your next abor[Bm]tion[G]
She'll [D]steal your money with the eyes of
a baby's com[Bm]plexion[G]
Then she'll [D]laugh at you and your sexual
inven[Bm]tion[G]
[D]

[Verse 7]
[Bm][G]
[D]Smelling like a rose,
in the flowers of devo[Bm]tion[G]
[D]Devoted the heat of a spotlight
[Bm]in m[G]otion
With a [D]face full of mud even though
you were only [Bm]joking[G]
[D]As if you really understood the
value of isola[Bm]tion[G]

[Verse 8]
[A]Asleep at the [D]wheel
[G]No wind[A]shield
[F#]But you know that the streets

[Interlude 1]
Here don't change
[Bm][A][D]
[G]
[Bm][G][D]
[Bm][G]

[Verse 9]
[D]Your tongue [G]so [D]fast like a freight
train coming [G]on [Bm]rollin'[G]
Every [D]smile you give's just to keep
your mouth from [Bm]clothin'[G]
Every [D]engine burns as a sign
of the [Bm]explo[G]sion
[D]Locked in neutral your engines
are [Bm]broken

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G][Bm]
[G]

[Verse 10]
Like [D]candle wax that sun
melts into [G]the ocean
Like [D]the moon that lights the tracks
of the old train [Bm]sta t[G]ion
You can [D]color in the lines of mother
earth's ad[Bm]dictions[G]
And [D]not hold a gun in the face of the
earth's abduc[Bm]tion[G]

[Verse 11]
[A]Asleep at the [D]wheel
[G]No wind[A]shield
But [F#]you know that the streets
Here don't [Bm]change
