Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band
Air Mattress (Taylor Hollingsworth)
from Outer South
chorded by Joey Kelly
This tune is rockin like!
on the chorus you could use F#m instead of the A Aadd9 A part if you like the
sound of it, but you know... it's up to you!
The approximate chords:
Intro:
Asus A, A Aadd9 A x2
D A
I want to sleep on the air mattress with you
D A
And let the air leak out, the whole night through
D A
And as we sleep our bodies slowly meet
D A
I can feel it when your heart beats
E, E6, E7, E7 E6 E
I do
Chorus:
D E A Aadd9 A
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
D E A
The air mattress with you
A
D A
It's under covers where it all begins
D A
And we pretend that we are just friends
D A
But when the others fall asleep, it ends
D A
We become lovers once again
E, E6, E7, E7 E6 E
We do
Chorus:
D E A Aadd9 A
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
D E A Aadd9 A
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
D E A Aadd9 A
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on?)
D E A
The air mattress with you
A
G# F#m A
My dreams, they have a holiday
Bm E
My lungs, they twist the night away
F# Bm
And even if I stay awake
E E7 E
I still get rest for hours
E E7 E
I still get rest for hours
E E7 E
I still get rest for hours
Solo:
D, A Aadd9 A,
D, E
D A
And even if there was a king-size bed
D A
Where I can stretch my legs and lie my head
D A
All by myself, in the darkest room
D A
Just know, that no matter what the options are
E, E6, E7, E7 E6 E
I choose . . .
D E A Aadd9 A
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
D E A Aadd9 A
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
D E A Aadd9 A
The air mattress with you
(Can I sleep on)
D E A Asus A, A A A.
The air mattress with you
Fin.
