Biography:
Queens of the Stone Age is a rock band from Palm Desert, California, United States. The band is frequently labeled stoner rock, although they reject the label. They developed a style of riff-oriented, heavy music which the band's founder and mastermind Josh Homme described as "robot rock", saying that he "wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, just pound it into your head". Since then, their sound has evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences.

[Verse 1]
G F# D E F# D C# D C# B Em
Don’t look, just keep your eyes peeled
G F# D E F# D C# D C# B Em
Thoughtless, trapped in my minefield
G F# D E F# D C# D C# B Em
Shotgun, never behind the wheel....anymore
G F# D E F# D C# D C# B Em
Danger, monsters of smoke and mirror
G F# D E F# D C# D C# B Em
Slowly, can one so lost be found?
[Chorus 1]
A G Em
And I know you'll never believe
A G Em
I play as though I’m alright
A G Em
If life is but a dream,
A G Em
Then....wake me!...up
[Bridge 1]
Em
Fallen leaves realize they are no friend of autumn
F# A
The view from hell is blue sky,
F# A
So ominously blue
F Em G A Em F Em F Em
Daydream until all the blue is gone
[Chorus 2]
A G Em
And I know you'll never believe
A G Em
I play as though I’m alright
A G Em
If life is but a dream,
A G Em
Then....wake me!

Em F#
Underwater is another life
Em F#
Disregarding every myth we write
Em F#
Rag doll churning, over and over--gasping in horror, so breathless you surface, just as the next wave is!...
[Verse 2]
G F# D E F# D C# D C# B Em
Big smile, really a show of teeth
G F# D E F# D C# D C# B Em
Without a care in a world of fear
G F# D E F# D C# D C# B Em
Lonely, you don’t know how I feel
G F# D E F# D C# D C# B Em
Praise God, nothing is as it seems....
