CAPO 2
Intro: C F Am F
C F
The fray, the friction
Am F
It's the reason that we all become aware.
C F
And we change for no reason;
Am F
Some say it's better to fall asleep and disappear.
F G
And soon we'll finally look at what we've done,
And wake up.
C F
So here we are,
Am
Waiting for a phone,
F
And on the radio they're calling up satellites like they're going to save
C
Us all,
F
So here we are,
Am
I guess I'm praying after all,
F
We're calling all, calling all satellites;
This is a wake up call.
C F
A call for freedom;
Am F
Ain't that the reason that we are alive?
C F
And we waste our lives on the wasted,
Am F
Until there's nothing left for us to justify;
Oh, I don't get it.
So here we are,
Waiting for a phone,
And on the radio they're calling up satellites like they're going to save
Us all,
So here we are,
I guess I'm praying after all,
We're calling all, calling all satellites;
This is a wake up call.
Change,
No reason;
Some say it's better to fall asleep and disappear.
It's time we finally opened up our eyes.
Four, three, two...
So here we are,
Waiting for a phone,
And on the radio they're calling up satellites like they're going to save
Us all,
So here we are,
I guess I'm praying after all,
We're calling all, calling all satellites;
This is a wake up call.
So here we are,
Waiting for a phone,
And on the radio they're calling all satellites...
