Wake Up
View chords used in this chart
Dm
Cos we've been driving so long
F
I can't remember how we got here
Am
Or how we survived so long
G
I'm trying to run from our pride
Till you set fire to my atmosphere
Dm
And I remember how I spent the 23rd
F
Feeling six feet under when I'm 30,000ft in the air
Am
Chasing that sun down
So far east I'm west bound
G
Feeling like the edge of this world is near
Pré refrão:
Dm
But you'll feel better when you wake up
Swear to God I'll make up
F
Everything and more when I get back someday
Am
This is more than just a phase, love
Shooting stars all break up
G
And even though it seems like half the world away
Dm
Things will be better in America
Heard the streets are gold there
F
Maybe I can fly you out this place someday
Am
Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocain
G
Screaming through your airwaves
Looking back I almost thought I heard you say
Dm
Stay you're not gonna leave me
F
This place is right where you need to be
Am G
And why your words gotta mean so much to them
Dm
And they mean nothing to me
Refrão:
So stay youre not what you're hearing
F
Cos I've been watching you changing
Am G
And who said you’re one in a million anyway?
Dm
Cos you see only what you want to
F
Your tunnel vision owns your
And you cant see what’s wrong
Am
When you keep sleeping through the p. m
Eyes wide open when you're dreaming
G
You're sleepwalking
Just keep talking
Dm
Maybe you can talk your way out of this deep end
No b plan in your system
F
Just tell me what your thinking
Am
I'm scared that you might fall
G
But you're not
But you're not
Pré refrão variação:
Dm
And you'll feel better when you wake up
Taking off your make up
F
Sun always seems to wash our fears away
Am
And it's always shining somewhere
I just gotta get there
G
And even though it seems like half the world away
Dm
Things are better in America
Heard the streets are gold there
F
Maybe I can fly you out this place some day
Am
Chasing dreams like I'm on novocaine
G
Screaming through your airwaves
Looking back I almost thought I heard you say
Refrão final:

F
Cos I've been watching you changing
Am G
And who said you’re one in a million
You're so much better than that

So stay you’re not what you're hearing

Cos I've been watching you changing

And who said you’re one in a million anyway?
