                                Am
Oh you never smoked this much before we met
      C                     F
Light up, light up another cigarette
                                Am
I can tell you’re drinking only to forget
        C                    F
Don’t know how I got you in such a mess

             Am                      C
How am I supposed to be your ray of light?
Your ray of light?
F
I get dark sometimes
Does it pass you by?
Am                       C
I should be your ray of light
                 F
Your ray of light

Chorus:
         G
But I’m falling
                       Am
Falling asleep at the wheel
                       G
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second you’re talking
    Dm                       G
But I’m just pretending you have my attention
     C
I’m falling
                       Am
Falling asleep at the wheel
                         F
I made you think it was real
If you think we’re strong enough
C
Come on and wake me up

You never looked this tense before we met
Back up, back when we were so innocent
All this emotion that we're buried in
Tied up, fired up on this adrenaline

How am I supposed to be your ray of light,
your ray of light?
Not a cloud in sight, what a perfect night
I should be your ray of light, your ray of light
But that's not me

Chorus:
And I'm falling, falling asleep at the wheel
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second, you're talking
But I'm just pretending you have my attention
I'm falling, falling asleep at the wheel
I made you think it was real
If you think we're strong enough
Come on and wake me up, wake me up
Come on and wake me up, come on and wake me up
If you think we're strong enough, wake me up

And I'm falling, falling asleep at the wheel
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second, you're talking
But I'm just pretending you have my attention
I'm falling, falling asleep at the wheel
I made you think it was real
If you think we're strong enough
Come on and wake me up, wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up
If you think we're strong enough
Come on and wake me up, wake me up, wake me up
