G
of all the foolish things to do
Em
i became a connoisseur of great excuse
Cadd9
and my pessimistic past the blame
Dsus4 D
will never make this go away

G
of all the foolish things ive said
Em
that keep me sleepy almost dead
Cadd9
im sorry if ive let you down
Dsus4 D
my eyes were closed , theyre open now

G
i’m waking up
Em
i Am waking up
Cadd9
i Am waking up
Dsus4 D
i awake

G
and this has all been said before
Em
ive listened but then i ignored
Cadd9
my ears grew deaf , my head gave up
Dsus4 D
the junkie knows not when to stop

G
of all the foolish alibis
Em
the constipated push for why
Cadd9
ive had a blanket pulled over my eyes
Dsus4 D
oh hush now baby dont you cry

G
i’m waking up
Em
i Am waking up
Cadd9
i Am waking up
Dsus4 D
i awake

G
i’m waking up
Em
coming i Am waking up
Cadd9
i’m ready i Am waking up
Dsus4 D
i awake
