G
Jimmie's still Jimmie and I'm still me 
D
And I'm tired of working for your company 
Em                                C
Time to move on but my heart's in traction 
C                     D
Tongue-tied bar talk, no more action 

G
Silence is golden unless of course your lonely 
D
If jealousy is ugly then I'm looking pretty homely 
Em                                                       C
The lights are getting brighter but the stage is getting darker 
C                   D
Words on paper in a permanent marker 

G
Late night new caps and Travelodge humdrum 
D
Remote control channel changing undecided numb thumb
Em                                           C
Lost for the language while the real world beckons 
C                                  D
Can I have your attention for just forty five seconds? 

[Chorus]
G                     Bm             C
Knock me unconscious (Ooh la la la, la la la la) 
G                     Bm             C
Remove my conscience (Ooh la la la, la la la la) 
G                 Bm             C
Wake me up later (Ooh la la la la) 
C             G         D     C     
And let me go home       ho-o-ome
C         G          D     C 
let me go home       

[Verse]
G
A city's gonna sprawl and a vine is gonna climb
D 
Guess I got to make the call on my own damn dime 
Em                                     C
A turning of the season, a changing of perception 
C                             D
I looked in the phone book and called my reflection 

G
I boiled up my friends in a hot pressure cooker 
D
I like to shoot pool but I won't play snooker 
Em                                       C
I don't got the patience to wait for the payoff 
C                             D
I think I'm in the ball park;  no man you're way off 

[Chorus]
G                     Bm             C
Knock me unconscious (Ooh la la la, la la la la) 
G                     Bm             C
Remove my conscience (Ooh la la la, la la la la) 
G                 Bm             C
Wake me up later (Ooh la la la la) 
C             G         D     C     
And let me go home       ho-o-ome
C         G          D     C 
let me go home

[Verse]
G       
Hoping for the best, imagining the worst 
D
If laughs were water I would be dying of thirst 
Em                                  C
Time to get home, I'm callin' up the Scots 
C                            D
Sayin', "Alright boys let's go get drunk!" 

G
Lost in the night in a power outage daydream 
D
Trying to make it right but i'm stuck inside a rhyme scheme 
Em                                    
Wanna break my habit, think that I can do it 
C       D
5 6 7 8 Baby I blew it 

[Chorus]
G                     Bm             C
Knock me unconscious (Ooh la la la, la la la la) 
G                     Bm             C
Remove my conscience (Ooh la la la, la la la la) 
G                 Bm             C
Wake me up later (Ooh la la la la) 
C             G         D     C     
And let me go home       ho-o-ome
C         G          D     C 
let me go home

[Outro]
G                  Bm             C
Shake it, shimmy (Ooh la la la, la la la la)
G                              Bm             C 
Because Jimmie's still jimmie (Ooh la la la, la la la la)
G                     Bm             C 
Flip the record over (Ooh la la la, la la la la) 
G                     Bm             C
Spin me, oh spin me 
N.C.
              G C  G G
And let me go home
