G                                C 
I just stepped in a puddle and I sank up to my neck. 
  D                                C            G 
I can't see the traffic light I'll get run over yet.

It cost me thirteen tokens to find my way back home. 
   D                                  C            G 
By then they'd shut the water off and taken out my phone. 


             C                            G 
Since you've given me those sleep walkin' blues.

I shook out my doormat in the middle of my bed. 
   D                               C             G 
My life is undernourished cause my heart is underfed. 
G                                  C 
My days are rambling nightmares my nights are even worse. 
        D                         C                 G 
Cause I can't find a way to get myself back down to earth.

Since you've given me those sleep walkin' blues.

I put on Waylon Jennings but I could not hear a sound. 
     D                                  C             G 
Yet, all my neighbors yellin' turn that country music down. 
G                        C 
I picked up my guitar to try to ease my mind. 
        D                                 C 
But the notes stuck to my fingers and the words they would  
    G 
not rhyme. 


             C                            G 
Since you've given me those sleep walkin' blues.
