For lead guitar, on your basic scale at the first 3 frets, you play C, Bb, C, Eb for the
verse. When you play the C chord for the verse, you let go of all of your fingers except
the bar.
C
Falling asleep at the wheel again baby
C
You're drifting over the line (the line) yeah
C
Your hands are tight but you're losing grip quickly
C
Fix me, can you read the signs?
C
Thumbing your way to Vegas, dirty
C
And dreaming of the other side
C
Save your tears and laughter
C
Because it doesn't matter what you find
C A# F
It ain't pretty
C A# F
After the show
C A# F
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you
C A# F
With no place to go
A# F
If you think you need it
A# F
Here's the place to feed it
C
But it ain't pretty
C
With everything that you do is wrong
C
And you fell like you can barely survive yeah
C
When those around you are crumbling downwards
C
Buried in the sunset alive
C
Thumbing your way to Vegas, dirty
C
And screaming like you're back from hell
C
Save your dreams and occupations
C
Cos' it doesn't matter what you sell
C A# F
It ain't pretty
C A# F
After the show
C A# F
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you
C A# F
With no place to go
A# F
If you think you want it
A# F
Here's the place to get it
C
But it ain't pretty
on this part, there's a riff that lead plays.
The party's over and the road is long
The party's over and we're moving on
The party's over and the road is long
A# F
So if you think you want it
A# F
Then just come out and say it
C
It aint pretty
C
Falling asleep at the wheel again baby
C
You're drifting over the line (the line)
C
You're hands are tight but you're losing grip quickly
C
Fix me, can you read the signs
C
Thumbing your way to Vegas, dirty
C
And dreaming like you're outta control
C
Save your tears and laughter
A# F
Because this is the ride
A# F
And this is the show
C A# F
It ain't pretty
C A# F
After the show

With no place to go

It ain't pretty
