Heart Attack In A Layby by Porcupine Tree
Heart Attack In A Layby
Note: you can play the D chord in the end of the verses like this:
Dadd#11 = xx0234
.. I guess it sounds better for me because I don't have a background guitar doing the
riff while I'm playing :P
[Intro]
F#m D Dadd#11
[Verse]
F#m
I pull off the road
F#m
East of Baldock and Ashford
D Dadd#11
Feeling for my cell
D
In the light from the dashboard
F#m
Hissing from the road
F#m
The smell of rain in the air con
D Dadd#11
Maybe check the news
D
Or just put a tape on
[Chorus]
F#m
Lighting up a smoke
E
I've got this feeling inside me
D Dadd#11 Bm D C#m
Don't feel too good
[Verse]
F#m
If I close my eyes
F#m
And fell asleep in this layby
D Dadd#11
Would it all subside
D
The fever pushing the day by
[Chorus]
F#m
Motor window wind
E
I could do with some fresh air
D Dadd#11 Bm D C#m
Can't breathe too well
[Verse]
F#m
I guess, I should go now (She waits for me)
F#m
She's waiting to make up (Home waits for me)
D
To tell me she's sorry (She waits for me)
D
And how much she missed me (Home waits for me)
F#m
I guess, I'm just burnt out (She waits for me)
F#m
I really should slow down (Home waits for me)
D
I'm perfectly fine but (She waits for me)
I just need to lie down (Home waits for me)
[Outro]
F#m
We'll grow old, together (She waits for me)
E
We'll grow old, together (Home waits for me)
D
We'll grow old, together (She waits for me)
Bm
We'll grow old, together (Home waits for me)
D
We'll grow old, together (She waits for me)
C#m F#m
We'll grow old, together (Home waits for me)

I pull off the road
East of Baldock and Ashford,
Feeling for my cell
In the light from the dashboard.
Hissing from the road
The smell of rain in the air con,
Maybe check the news,
Or just put a tape on.
Lighting up a smoke,
I've got this feeling inside me;
Don't feel too good.
If I close my eyes
And fell asleep in this layby,
Would it all subside
The fever pushing the day by.
Motor window wind,
I could do with some fresh air;
Can't breathe too well.
(She waits for me... Home waits for me...)
I guess I should go now,
She's waiting to make up.
To tell me she's sorry,
And how much she missed me.
I guess I'm just burnt out,
I really should slow down.
I'm perfectly fine but
I just need to lay down.

version 3
Guitar 1 (E B D F# C# F#) - 'Steven Wilson - Clean'
Guitar 2 (E B D F# C# F#) - 'John Wesley - Acoustic'
- This tab is written to be accurate to how the song is played in the version above. This
means that the tuning is very strange.
- If you don't want to risk snapping your high E string, the tuning can alternatively be
achieved by down-tuning relevant strings and putting a capo on the 2nd fret.
- There is another tab for this song that uses standard tuning.
- In this live version of the song, the clean guitar played throughout the studio version of
song is not present.

I pull off the road
East of Baldock and Ashford,
Feeling for my cell
In the light from the dashboard.
Hissing from the road
The smell of rain in the air con,
Maybe check the news,
Or just put a tape on.
Lighting up a smoke,
I've got this feeling inside me;
Don't feel too good.
If I close my eyes
And fell asleep in this layby,
Would it all subside
The fever pushing the day by.
Motor window wind,
I could do with some fresh air;
Can't breathe too well.
(She waits for me... Home waits for me...)
I guess I should go now,
She's waiting to make up.
To tell me she's sorry,
And how much she missed me.
I guess I'm just burnt out,
I really should slow down.
I'm perfectly fine but
I just need to lay down.
