intro :

C#m5 – E5 – D#5 A5 – C#m5 – B5

C#m F#m G#m E
i think i know what you mean but watch what you say
C#m F#m G#m E
’cause they’ll be trying to knock you down in some way
C#m F#m G#m E
sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep
C#m F#m G#m E
how do you wake someone up from inside a dream?

C#m F#m G#m E
your mind would wander and search for its place in the night
C#m F#m G#m E
your body followed this feeling like following light
C#m F#m G#m E
once that your music was born it followed you ’round
C#m F#m G#m E
and then it gave your activities , meaning and let you be loud

F#m G#m
you’re sad but you smile
A E
it not in your eyes
F#m G#m
your eyeballs won’t change
A open E
it’s the muscles around your eyes

open E in chorus

G#m E
an egg to fertilize
G#m E
a pulse to stabilize
G#m E
a body to deodorize
G#m E
a life to scrutinize
G#m E
a child to criticize
G#m E
young adults to modernize
G#m E
citizens to terrorize
G#m E
generations to desensiti

solo : C#m – F#m – B – E i think 3 times

C#m F#m G#m E
you’re dreams are sweet and obsessed and your overworked
C#m F#m G#m E
you’re overtaken by visions of being overlooked
C#m F#m
how disappointed would D . ( ead ) i . ( dealistic )
G#m E
D . ( esperate ) i . ( nventor ) p ( ioneer ) p . ( hilosophers ) be
C#m F#m G#m E
to see such power in our hands all wasted on greed
C#m
Am i a prisoner to instincts?
F#m
or do my thoughts just live
G#m
as free and detached
E
as boats to the dock?
C#m F#m G#m E
just like when music was born and detached from your heart
C#m F#m G#m E
is your free time to free minds or for falling apart?

F#m G#m
night after night
A E
you turn out the light
F#m G#m A
you don’t fall asleep right away
open E
“are we . . . are we done?”

G#m E
a desk to organize
G#m E
a product to advertise
G#m E
a market to monopolize
G#m E
movie stars you idolize
G#m E
leaders to scandalize
G#m E
enemies to neutralize
G#m E
no time to apologize
G#m E
fury to tranquilize
G#m E
weapons to synchronize
G#m E
cities to vapor – i
