Tom: E
B
A race car bed
A
He never got to get tucked into one
B
Bedtime could've been so fun
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Life will pass you by so fast
B
She said bow your head and get your knees
A E
And pray the Lord hands you the keys to drive away your bad bad dreams
B
Aaah aah aaah aah aah
A E
And fall asleep
[Chorus]
C#m B
Oedipus, oedipus
A E
Now isn't this all a mess
C#m B A E
Trying to leave the oracle buried back in the past
C#m B
Oedipus, oedipus
A E
Come on, get up, get dressed
C#m B A
Life will pass you by so fast
[Verse 2]
B
A race car bed
A
Became a thought to get out of his head
B
He had grown too old for them
[Pre-Chorus]
A
Life will pass you by so fast
B
She said bow your head and get your knees
A E
And pray the Lord hands you the keys to drive away your bad bad dreams
B
Aaah aah aaah aah aah
A E
And fall asleep (fall asleep)
[Bridge]
C#m B
All he ever wanted was to lay his head
A E
On a pillow on a mattress on a race car bed
C#m B
Every single night he'd say the same old prayer
A B
And he'd open up his eyes a little more aware
[Chorus]
C#m B
Oedipus, oedipus
A E
Now isn't this all a mess
C#m B A E
Trying to leave the oracle buried back in the past
C#m B
Oedipus, oedipus
A E
Come on, get up, get dressed
C#m B A B
Life will pass you by so fast
A B
You'll fall asleep
