Rude Awakening Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]On [Dsus4]the[D][Dsus4][D]
two -train riding home
[G]To the [C]place where you were liv[D]ing
Packed together, still alone
[G]Wondering [C]if you'd been forgiven
[D]There's a n[Bm]ote there on the door
[G]that says she [A]doesn't like good[Bm]byes
It may [G]take a rude [Em]awakening
[A]to open up your [D]eyes
But tick[Dm]er tape ro[D]lled b[G]y,
[C]the number's always [D]higher
All the doubters and
Cas[G]sandras
[C]You simply had them [D]fired
They [Bm]pierced the corporate veil
[G]Soon the[A]y'll cut you down to siz[Bm]e
It may [G]take a rude [Em]awakening
[A]To open up your [D]eyes
But [G]you never watched the [A]weather,
checked the
August [D]over [G]signs
Didn't [Em]find your daily horo[A]scope,
tried [F#m]to read between the lin[Bm]es
Now the [G]moment is upon [A]you,
and it [D]cannot be denied
[G]It may [Em]take a rude [G]awakening [A]to open up your [D]eye[G]s
[C][D][G][C][Dm][D][G]
[A][D][G][Em][G][A][D]
On the fringes of our con[G]science
[C]We know that we've done wrong
[D]They say[A] pow[D]er will corrupt,
[G]but somehow we'[C]ve grown too str[D]ong
A [G]coming storm may [A]wash away
all the secrets an[D]d the lies
[G]It may tak[Em]e a rude awa[G]kening
[A]to open up our [D]eyes
[A]Cause we [G]never watched the [A]weather,
checked the [D]augers or the signs
[G]Didn't fin[Em]d our daily horosco[A]pe,
tried to [F#m]read between the l[Bm]ines
[A]Now the [G]moment is upon [A]us,
and it [D]will not be denied
[G]It may [Em]take a rude awaken
[G]ing to [A]open up our eye[D]s
It may [Em]take a rude [G]awakening to
[A]open up our[D] eye[D]s
you
