[Verse]

   Bb
Protecting you
   Dm
Protecting me
Bb                      Dm                     Asus4       A7
 I throw the evidence into a trunk and drop it in the sea

Bb
Lie awake
  Dm
I sleep awake
Bb                           Dm  
 I sleep with one eye on the bedroom door,
          Asus4         A7
The other on the cake

   Bb
Protecting me
   Dm
Protecting you
Bb                      Dm                      Asus4              A7 
 Carving away our fingerprints out of our fingertips until they're smooth

[Chorus]

F
Lie awake
  A7
I sleep awake
Bb                          Dm
 I sleep with one eye on my royal flush
          Asus4
The other on the take
  A7
I sleep awake

[Verse]

   Bb
Protecting this
   Dm
Protecting that
Bb                           Dm                           Asus4
 Calling a deadbeat with his dead boat wrapped around his artifact
   A7
Protecting that

Bb
Lie awake
  Dm
I sleep awake
Bb                           Dm             Asus4           A7
 I sleep with one hand on my 45, the other 'round my baby's waist

[Chorus]

F
Lie awake
  A7
I sleep awake
Bb                       Dm
 I go to bed with all my lights turned on
           Asus4
So I don't slip away
  A7
I stay awake

Bb                         Dm
Out on the street I keep a started car
         Asus4            A7
Who only waits for me, conveniently

Bb
