[Intro 1]
[A][D][A][D][A][D][A][D]
[G]

[G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Caught in [D]a cold sweat
Stuck splitting hairs
and drinking too much
I'm on my [Bm]way to s[G]trik[Em] ing out[G]
[D]Go to sleep with the pressure of
everyone watching and waiting
They're yours for the taking,
but [Bm]I still ha[Em]ve my do[Bm]ubt s[G]

[Verse 2]
(I still have my doubts)
[A]Before you ask which way to go,
remem[G]ber where you've been

[Verse 3]
Stay [D]awake, get a grip and get out
You're [G]safe from the
weight of the world
Just [D]take a second to set things [G]straight
I'll be [Bm]fine even though
I'm not always [G]right
I can count on the sun to [D]shine
Dedication takes a [G]lifetime
[A]But dreams only last for a [D]night

[Verse 4]
Figure it [D]out
Boy, you're tripping so
pull yourself together
Or you'll [Bm]wash up [G]like [Em]the r[G]est
[D]This ship is sinking
I'm thinking I'm done for
I'll watch as the sails disappear
under water
'Cause [Bm]I'm n[Em]o ca[G]ptain[Bm]
[G]yet (I'm no captain yet)

[Verse 5]
I said, "Be[Asus4]fore you ask which way to go,[A]
[G]remember where you've been"

[Verse 6]
Stay [D]awake, get a grip and get out
You're [G]safe from the
weight of the world
Just [D]take a second to set things [G]straight
I'll be [Bm]fine even though
I'm not always [G]right
I can count on the sun to [D]shine
Dedication takes a [G]lifetime
[A]But dreams only last for a night
[D]

[Verse 7]
Believe you, me
I'll give them everything
I'd tell them anything
To show them everything
Believe [A]you, [D]me

[Verse 8]
I'll give them everything
[G]I'd tel[A]l them anythi[D]ng
[G]To show them everything

[Verse 9]
'Cause [D]you ain't the [A]only
[D]ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
[Bm]You ain't the only ones
who want to live it up
[G]You ain't the only ones
[D]You ain't the [A]only [D]ones
who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
[Bm]You ain't the only ones
who want to live it up
[G]You ain't the only ones
[D]

[Verse 10]
Stay [A]awake [D](wake), get
a grip and get out
You're [G]safe (safe) from the
weight of the world
Just [D]take (take) a second
to set things [G]straight
I'll be [Bm]fine (fine) even though
I'm not always [G]right (right)
I can count on the sun to
[D]shine (shine)
Dedication takes a life[G]time
But [A]dreams only last for [D]a night
