[verse]

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

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

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse]

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

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

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

A#

[Breakdown]

F A Dm A# (repeat)

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