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

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

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse]

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

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

[Chorus]

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

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

A# A#

[Breakdown]

F F A A Dm Dm A# A# (repeat)

F F A A
Lie awake
Dm Dm A# A#
I sleep awake
F F A A
Lie awake
Dm Dm A# A#
I sleep awake
F F A A Dm Dm A# A#
Ahhh...ahhh...

I personally used the strumming pattern
DDUDUDU for The majority of the song, but occasionally used a single down strum when Asus4 and A7 were close together or A7 was at the end of a lyric.

In addition the transcription of the notes are very well done so you can essentially strum to the beat of the original song if you struggle.
