Intro: B, E... 4X
B E
Wake me up when it's over,
B E
Wake me up when it's done,
B E
When he's gone away and taken everything,
B E
Wake me up.
Wake me up when the skies are clearing,
When the water is still,
'cause I will not watch the ships sail away so,
Please say you will.
A E F#
If it were any other day,
A E B E B E
This wouldn't get the best of me.
But today I'm not so strong,
So lay me down with a sad song,
And when it stops then you know I've been,
Gone too long.
But don't shake me awake,
Don't bend me or I will break,
Come find me somewhere between my dreams,
With the sun on my face.
A E F#
I will still feel it later on,
A E B E B E B E B E...
But for now I'd rather be asleep.
