INTRO:
       C        G(x2)
CIts late and I am tired, wish I could spark a smile
GThe place is flying high but right now I want to be low
CDont want to move an inch, let alone a million miles
GAnd I dont want to go but I know I gotta go
DI just want to feel Calive
CThe times you Gdont want to wake up
DCause in your sleep its never over when yEmou give up
CThe sun is always Ggoing to rise up
DYou need to get up, gotta keEmep your head up
CLook at the peoplGe all around you
DThe way you feel is something everybody goes Emthrough
CDark out, but yoGu still gotta light up
DYou need to wake up, gotta keep Emyour face up
CSeems like the more you grow, the more time you spend alone
GBefore you know it you end up perfectly on your own
CThe citys shining bright, but you dont see the light
GHow come you concentrate on things that dont make you feel right
DI just want to feeCl alright
CThe times you Gdont want to wake up
DCause in your sleep its never over when yEmou give up
CThe sun is always Ggoing to rise up
DYou need to get up, gotta keEmep your head up
CLook at the peoplGe all around you
DThe way you feel is something everybody goes Emthrough
CDark out, but yoGu still gotta light up
DYou need to wake up, gotta keep Emyour face up
CIm looking for more than a little bit
GIm gonna have to find my way throDugh it
CGonna leave a mark, Im gonna get a spark
GIm coming off the grounDd
C (Hold)
I wont be looking down
CThe times you Gdont want to wake up
DCause in your sleep its never over when yEmou give up
CThe sun is always Ggoing to rise up
DYou need to get up, gotta keEmep your head up
CLook at the peoplGe all around you
DThe way you feel is something everybody goes Emthrough
CDark out, but yoGu still gotta light up
DYou need to wake up, gotta keep Emyour face up
