[C][F][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Stay out super [F]late tonight
[G]Picking apples, making pies
[C]Put a little something [F]in our lemo[G]nade
And take it with us

[Chorus 1]
We're half a[Am]wake in a [F]fake [G]empire
We're half a[Am]wake in a [F]fake [G]empire

[Verse 2]
[C]Tiptoe through our [F]shiny city
[G]With our diamond slippers on
[C]Do our gay ballet [F]on ice
[G]Bluebirds on our shoulders

[Chorus 2]
We're half a[Am]wake in a [F]fake [G]empire
We're half a[Am]wake in a [F]fake [G]empire

[Verse 3]
[C]Turn the light out, [F]say goodnight
[G]No thinking for a little while
[C]Let's not try to [F]figure out
[G]everything at once
It's [C]hard to keep [F]track of you
[G]falling through the sky

[Chorus 3]
We're half a[Am]wake in a [F]fake [G]empire
We're half a[Am]wake in a [F]fake [G]empire
