Sleep It Off Less Than Jake
This is the acoustic version of Sleep it Off (a criminally underrated LJT
b-side), I've designed this tab to be played with open chords wherever
possible (F# and C# being the exceptions). To see how this is played do your
homework and seek out the live acoustic version of this track, which I seem
to remember being a free download at some point. Enjoy!
[CBORUS]
[F#]i might as [A]well just sleep it [E]off
[F#]wishful t[A]hinking's got my [E]wires crossed (whoa ho)
[F#]when i am d[A]esperate and [E]alone
i [D]know i [A]know i [B]know how low i go
[Verse1]
[E]so i'll drive an[D]d [A]di[D]sa[A]pe[D]ar[A]
and maybe if i'm luck by this time next year
[E]no one i [D]kn[A]ow[D] w[A]il[D]l [A]know my name
it's either change or go or i'll explode today
[E]i'll leave a [D]no[A]te[D] o[A]n [D]my[A] machine
unplug the phone and finish packing all my things
[E]i found a [D]ph[A]ot[D]og[A]raph of me
its been such a slow decay [B]
day to day i don't [C#]even [D]recognize my [E]own face
i [A]had another breakdown
and i'm floating[E] face down
[CBORUS]
[F#]i might as [A]well just sleep it [E]off
[F#]wishful t[A]hinking's got my [E]wires crossed (whoa ho)
[F#]when i am d[A]esperate and [E]alone
i [D]know i [A]know ye[B]ah i know how low i go
[Verse2]
[E]i'm going to sle[D]ep[A] i[D]t [A]of[D]f[A]
this sinking feeling of always feeling lost
[E]hasn't been that[D] l[A]on[D]g [A] [D] [A]
six years worth of always being wrong
[E]i met an old fri[D]en[A]d [D]ou[A]t [D]on[A] the street
traded stories and out of date memories
[E]she has a photog[D]ra[A]ph[D] o[A]f me
it's been such a slow decay[B]
day to day did we s[C#]eem m[D]uch happier in [E]those days
[Solo break]
E D *4
[into verse end]
its been a slow [B]decay
day to day i don't [C#]even [D]recognize my [E]own face
[Last Cborusette]
[E]i k[D]now i k[A]now i k[B]now how low i go [x4]
End on E
