Dm C A# Am C Just down the street from your hotel, baby. Dm C A# I stay at home with my disease. Dm C A# Am C And ain't this position familiar, darlin'? Dm C A# Well, all monkeys do what they see. G A# Help me stay awake, I'm fallin'... Down on Virginia and La Loma Where I got friends who'll care for me You got an attitude of everything I ever wanted I got an attitude of need So help me stay awake, I'm falling Chorus: F C Gm Asleep in perfect blue buildings, F C Gm Beside the green apple sea, F C Gm A# Gonna get me a little oblivion, baby, F C A# Dm And try to keep myself away from me. It's 4:30 a.m. on a Tuesday It doesn't get much worse than this In beds in little rooms, in buildings in the middle Of these lives which are completely meaningless Help me stay awake, I'm falling Chorus: Asleep in perfect blue buildings Beside the green apple sea I wanna get me a little oblivion, baby I'm trying to keep myself away from myself and me Well, I got bones beneath my skin, mister There's a skeleton in every man's house Beneath the dust and love and sweat that hangs on everybody There's a dead man trying to get out So please help me stay awake, I'm falling Chorus: Asleep in perfect blue buildings Beside the green apple sea I wanna get me a little oblivion, baby I'm trying to keep myself away from myself and me Asleep in perfect blue buildings Beside the green apple sea I wanna get me a little oblivion, baby I'm trying to keep myself away from myself and me Oh, in a perfect blue building Well, I can't keep myself away from me In a perfect blue building So how am I gonna keep myself away? How am I gonna keep myself away from me? Keep myself away How am I gonna keep myself away from me? Keep myself away How am I gonna keep myself away from me?
