We can go wherever we like
G
And if it feels like we’re dreaming,
Believe it, believe it.
Chorus:
G Em Bm
We don't have to wait 'til the morning,
A
The sun will never go down.
G Em Bm
And we’ll be this way forever,
A
We've got to take it now,
(Yeah)
G Em Bm
Just stay awake, stay awake,
A
You can follow us to paradise,
G Em Bm A
Just stay awake, stay awake.
Believe it
G Em
Take my fate in your hands
Bm A
We've got a lot that hasn’t even began
G
Something is calling us,
Em
We’re breaking free,
Bm
I’m curious,
A
I need to see.
G Em Bm A
(it’s the same)
We're going on a journey
It was over like a flash before our eyes
We're going on a journey
It was over like a flash before our eyes
We're already into the night
6) UNDER CONTROL
Em C
Capo IV
Em
I'll never forget that feeling
When I watched you disappear
C
And you made me stop believing
I could fight away the fear
Em
Now the smoke has cleared
And the end is near
It was my illusion
C
Like a broken dream I was incomplete
D Em
But your love was never the missing piece.

Am C Em D
I feel like I am dreaming again
Am C Em D
I feel like I am seeing again
Am C Em D
I feel like I am breathing again
Am C
I got it under control
Em D
I got it under control
Em
I got it under control
Em
All that's real is faded, like a car into the night
C
Like painkiller I take it
And I watch the world ignite
Em
Now the smoke has cleared
And the end is near
It was my illusion.
C
Like a broken dream I was incomplete
D Em
But your love was never the missing piece
Chorus:
Am C Em D
I feel like I am dreaming again
Am C Em D
I feel like I am seeing again

I feel like I am breathing again
