VERSE 1

Dm      /           Bb       /               F /      /    (C)

     Feeling my way through the darkness

 Dm    /    Bb        /           F /  / (A)

    Guided by a beating heart

Dm    /      Bb       /            F    /          /      (C)

     I can’t tell where the journey will end

 Dm    /    Bb        /           F /  / (A)

    But I know   where to start

Dm      /           Bb    /     F     /           /       (C)

  They tell me I’m too young to understand

 Dm        /            Bb            /         F  /   /  (A)

     They say I’m caught up in a dream

Dm      /           Bb       /           F      /          /         (C)

 “Well life will pass me by if I don’t open up my eyes” 

 Dm    /     Bb    /   F  / X  -

      That’s fine by  me       So wake me

 

CHORUS

Dm    /    Bb   /    F /  /   C

Up when it’s all over.  When I’m

Dm  /    Bb   /    F /  /   A

 Wiser and I’m older.   All this

Dm    /        Bb   /     F   /   /    C 

Time I was finding myself and I

Dm   /       Bb     /          F    /  X  -

      Didn’t know I was lost

VERSE 2

Dm  /         Bb       /           F      /          /    (C)

       I tried carrying the weight of the world

Dm    /      Bb        /           F  /  / (A)

        But I only have two hands

Dm      /   Bb       /                F   /          /     (C)

   Hope I get the chance to travel the world

Dm     /         Bb      /       F /  / (A)

    But I don’t have any plans

Dm   /         Bb           /           F /          /    (C)

     Wish that I could stay forever this young

Dm  /    Bb        /                 F  /  / (A)

      Not afraid to close my eyes

Dm  /         Bb       /           F     /  /   (C)

   Life’s a game made for everyone

 Dm    /    Bb   /       F   /  X      -

       And love is a prize.  So wake me
