Less Than Jake - Sleep It Off

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!

[ chorus ]
F# A E
i might as well just sleep it off
F# A E
wishful thinking’s got my wires crossed ( whoa ho )
F# A E
when i Am desperate and alone
D A B
i know i know i know how low i go

[ verse1 ]
E D A D A D A
so i’ll drive and disapear
and maybe if i’m luck by this time next year
E D A D A D A
no one i know will know my name
it’s either change or go or i’ll explode today
E D A D A D A
i’ll leave a note on my machine
unplug the phone and finish packing all my things
E D A D A
i found a photograph of me
B
its been such a slow decay
C# D E
day to day i don’t even recognize my own face
A
i had another breakdown

and i’m floating face down

i might as well just sleep it off

wishful thinking’s got my wires crossed ( whoa ho )

[ verse2 ]
E D A D A D A
i’m going to sleep it off
this sinking feeling of always feeling lost
E D A D A D A
hasn’t been that long
six years worth of always being wrong
E D A D A D A
i met an old friend out on the street
traded stories and out of date memories

day to day did we seem much happier in those days
