The World Awake Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Bm][D][Am]

[Verse 1]
That frightening little [C]sound
[Am]It's just the world awake
[Bm]It's just [Em]a way of [D]saying
[Am]we're in business
It's just a lightning strike,
It's just a family row
[Bm]It's [D]just the give and take [Am]of forgiveness
[Bm][Am][D][Am]
[Bm][G][Am][C][Am][F#m]
Chance [D]being a fine [Bm]thing
brought [Esus4]us togeth[D]er
[Bm]But [F#m]we're not magnet[D]s
[Bm]well not f[Esus4]orever[D][Am]
It's just the way I am,
It's just the way we are
[Bm]It's just a [D]nervous flicker[Am]ing of
old [C]flames[Em][C][G][Am][C][Am]
Now everybody wears the look
Of the child [Dsus4]who wishe[Am]d
to marry [G]you[F#dim]
Who, knocking [Am]proudly on your door,
Was greeted by your pretty [G]wife[F#dim]
If [Am]this is life make no mistake
It keeps [D]the [Am]weary world awake[G][F#dim]
[Am][Bm][G][Am]
[Bm][G][Am]
[A]Chance [D]being a fine [Bm]thing [D]brought
[Esus4]us togeth[Bm]er[F#m]
But [D]we're not magnets well
[Esus4]not forev[D]er[Am]
It's just the way I am,
It's just the way we are
[Bm]It's [D]just [G]a nervous
[D]flickering of old[Am] flames
So don't you [C]cry [Am]they're,
They're only words
[Bm]They're [D]only the saddest thing you've
[Am]ever [Em]heard[C][Em][C][G][Am]
Now everybody wears the look
Of the child who wished to
marry [G]you[F#dim]
Who, knocking [Am]proudly on your door,
Was greeted by your pretty [G]wife[F#dim]
If this [Am]is l[Em]ife[Am][G][F#dim][Am][G][F#dim]
[Am]make[Em] no m[Am]istak[G]e[F#dim][Am][Em][Am]
It keeps the weary world [G]awake[F#dim]
