[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
I was waiting for you [G]I was
sat in the sun
[C]I could picture your face
on the tip of my tongue
I woke up [G]laughing
I broke into a sweat
I broke into a run
[Em]You [C]were hot in my
heels so I hired a gun
I woke up [G]laughing
I was flat on my back
I was taking a plun[C]ge
It was making a stand but my
plan was undone
I woke [G]up laughing
Well I planned an escape
for the middle of June
[C]But I drug too fast
and I fire too soon
I woke up [G]laughing[C]
Woke up [G]laughing

[Verse 2]
You make yourself [G]a fortune,
[Em]out [C]in Hong Kong
You sit at home and wonder
[G]whether you were wrong
You take a small vacation
[C]just to keep sane
You find on your [G]return [C]your home
[G]has blown away
You meditate, you make haste
[C]You run a risk, you come late,
You pay a bill, you lose face
[G]You're not ful[D]ly un [G]aware
Your star or your fate
[C]If you fall do you break
You go to war, you make [G]love
You sign [D]out [G]in a box

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
I was waiting [G]for you
I was sat [C]in the sun
I could picture your face
on the tip of my tongue
I woke up [G]laughing[D]
[G]I broke into a sweat
I broke into [C]a run
You were hot in my heels
so I hired a gun
I woke up [G]laughing
I was flat on my back
I was taking a plun[C]ge
It was making a stand
but my plan was undone
I woke up [G]laughing
Well I planned an escape for
the middle of Jun[C]e
But I drug too fast and I fire too soon
I woke up [G]laughing[C]
Woke [G]up laughing

You make yourself [G]a fortune,
[Em]out [C]in Hong Kong
You sit at home and wonder [G]wheth
[D]er you [G]were wrong
You take a small vacation
[Em]just [C]to keep sane
You find on your return your [G]home
[D]has blown [G]away
You meditate, you make haste
[C]You run a risk, you come late,
You pay a bill, you lose [G]face
You're not [D]fully [G]un aware
Your star or your fate
[C]If you fall do you break
You go to war, you make [G]love
[Dsus4]You sign [G]out in a box
