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
