Wake Up Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]'Cause we've been driving so long
I can't re[F]member how we got here
Or how we sur[Am]vived so long
I'm trying to run from our pride
'Til you [G]set fire to my atmosphere
And I remember how I [Dm]spent the 23rd
Feeling six feet under
When I'm [F]30,000 feet in the air
Chasing that [Am]sundown
So far East, I'm Westbound
Feeling like the [G]edge of this world is near

[Pre-chorus 1]
But you'll feel better when you [F]wake up
Swear to God I'll make up
Everything and [G]more
when I get back someday
This is more than just a [Am]phase, love
Shooting stars all break up
And even though it [C]seems
like half the world a[G]way
Things will be better in A[F]merica
Heard the streets are gold there
Maybe I can [G]fly you out of this place someday
Chasing dreams like I'm on [Am]Novocaine
Screaming through your airways
Looking back,
I [G]almost thought I heard you say

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]Stay, you're not gonna leave me
[F]This place is right where you need to be
[Am]And why your words gotta mean
so much to [G]them
And they mean nothing to me?
[Dm]So stay, you're not what you're hearing
[F]'Cause I've been watching you changing
[Am]And who said you're you're one in a million
[G]Anyway?

[Verse 2]
[F]'Cause you see only what you want to
Your [Dm]tunnel vision haunts you
And you can't see what's wrong
And you keep [Am]sleeping through the p.m.
Eyes wide open when you're dreaming
You're [G]sleepwalking, just keep talking
And maybe you can talk your [Dm]way
out of this deep end
No B plan in your system
Just [F]tell me what you're thinking
I'm scared that you might [Am]fall
But [G]you're not
But you're not
And you'll feel better when [F]you

[Pre-chorus 2]
[F]wake up
Taking off your makeup
Sun always [G]seems to wash our fears away
And it's always shining [Am]somewhere
I just gotta get there
And even though it [G]seems
like half the world away
Things are better in A[F]merica
Heard the streets are gold there
Maybe I can [G]fly you out of this place someday
Chasing dreams like I'm on [Am]Novocaine
Screaming through your airways
Looking back,
I [G]almost thought I heard you say

[Chorus 2]
[Dm]Stay, you're not gonna leave me
[F]This place is right where you need to be
[Am]And why your words gotta mean
so much to [G]them
And they mean nothing to me?
[Dm]So stay, you're not what you're hearing
[F]'Cause I've been watching you changing
[Am]And who said you're one in a milli[G]on
You're so much [C]better than that

[Bridge 1]
[F]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Am]You're so much better than that[Em]
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[G]You're so much bet[Em]ter than tha[Dm]t
Stay, you're not what you were [Em]hearing
[F]'Cause I've been watching you cha[G]nging
[Am]And who said you're one in a milli[G]on
[C]Anyway?

[Outro 1]
[C](Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh,[F]
oh-oh-oh-oh-[Am]oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh-[G]oh)
And you'll feel better when you [C]wake up
Swear to God I'll make up
Everything or [F]more when I get back someday
Chasing dreams like I'm on [Am]Novocaine
Screaming through your airways
Looking back,
I [G]almost thought I heard you say:
[F]"You're so much better than that"
