                                       C#  Eb-E  
Wake up get out there's no time to waste now
              A  B-A-Ab-F#  
Never shut up it's our turn to speak out
                                        C#  Eb-    E    A  B-A-Ab-F#  
These streets are dead just waiting to come alive
                                       C#  Eb-E  
Break down the doors of our comfortable room
                   A  B-A-Ab-F#  
Tear down the walls we never could see through
                                  C#  Eb-    E    A  B-A-Ab-F#  
aren't we sick yet of missing out on life?

And we'll fight for love, and we live to die
C#-       G#  C#-E  
Because a life that holds no meaning
Is like a day without the Eblight
 C#-     G#  C#-             E  E  
so we've come alive tonight
Verse:
                                     C#  Eb-E  
All have been called but so few have listened
  A  B-A-Ab-F#  
Life is too short, you don't wanna miss this
                           C#  Eb-    E   A  B-A-Ab-F#  
Make up your mind before life passes by
(Bass solo)
Now is the time to wake up and see this
 A  B-A-Ab-F#  
world won't revolve around you and me so
                                     C#  Eb-    E   A  B-A-Ab-F#  
let's be the change we've all been waiting for
