Primeira Parte
C
Went to the wrong school
F7M
Wearing the wrong shoes
Am7 F7M
They told me that I should sit down and just bite my tongue
C
'Cause if you're lucky
F7M
You'll get to university
Am7
Say three Hail Mary's
F7M
And everything bad will be gone
( C F7M )
Ponte
Am7 G
But I'm so tired of standing still
F G
And I'm not buying what you're trying to sell
Refrão
C
So don't wake me up
F7M Am7
If you're only going to tell me to give it up
F7M C
Then say everything I do is never enough
F7M
'Cause you're lying through your teeth
Am7
We don't fit into your boxes
F7M
We're all different underneath
C F7M
Don't wake me up
Segunda Parte
C
When I got my first guitar
F7M
My father told me "Son
Am7 F7M
Four chords is all you need to show people just who you are"
C
So I played to strangers
F7M
Down by the backstreets
Am7 F7M
And every time they caught me dreaming I'd say
Refrão
C
Don't wake me up
F7M Am7
If you're only going to tell me to give it up
F7M C
Then say everything I do is never enough
F7M
'Cause you're lying through your teeth
Am7
We don't fit into your boxes
F7M
We're all different underneath
C F7M
Don't wake me up
Am7 F7M
Don't wake me up
Ponte
Am7 G
'Cause I'm so tired of standing still
F G
And I'm not buying what you're trying to sell
C F7M Am7 F7M
So don't wake me up
Refrão
C
Don't wake me up
F7M Am7
If you're only going to tell me to give it up
F7M C
Then say everything I do is never enough
F7M
'Cause you're lying through your teeth
Am7
We don't fit into your boxes
F7M
We're all different underneath
C F7M
Don't wake me up
Am7 F7M
Don't wake me up
C F7M
Don't wake me up
Am7 F7M
Don't wake me up
C
Don't wake me up
