Intro  C   C   C   F   C  F  
CCaught in a cold sweat
Stuck splitting hairs and drinking too much
I'm on my Fway to striking out
CGo to sleep with the pressure of everyone watching and waiting
They're yours for the taking, but FI still have my doubts
AmBefore you ask which way to go, Fremember where you've been
Stay awCake, get a grip and get out
You're sFafe from the weight of the world
Just tCake a second to set things Fstraight
I'll be fAmine even though I'm not always Fright
I can count on the sun to Cshine
Dedication takes a lifeFtime
But dGreams only last for a Cnight
CFigure it out
Boy, you're tripping so pull yourself together
Or you'll Fwash up like the rest
CThis ship is sinking
I'm thinking I'm done for
I'll watch as the sails disappear under water
'Cause FI'm no captain yet
I said, "AmBefore you ask which way to go, reFmember where you've been."
Stay awake, geCt a grip and get out
You're sFafe from the weight of the world

Intro

Caught in a cold sweat

Stuck splitting hairs and drinking too much

I'm on my way to striking out

Go to sleep with the pressure of everyone watching and waiting

They're yours for the taking, but I still have my doubts

Am F

Before you ask which way to go, remember where you've been

Stay awake, get a grip and get out

You're safe from the weight of the world

C F

Just take a second to set things straight

Am F

I'll be fine even though I'm not always right

I can count on the sun to shine

Dedication takes a lifetime

G C

But dreams only last for a night

Figure it out

Boy, you're tripping so pull yourself together

Or you'll wash up like the rest

This ship is sinking

I'm thinking I'm done for

I'll watch as the sails disappear under water

'Cause I'm no captain yet

Am F

I said, "Before you ask which way to go, remember where you've been."

Stay awake, get a grip and get out

You're safe from the weight of the world

I'll give them everything

I'd tell them anything

To show them everything

Believe you, me

I'll give them everything

I'd tell them anything

To show them everything

'Cause you ain't the only ones who want to live it up

You ain't the only ones

You ain't the only ones who want to live it up

You ain't the only ones

'Cause you ain't the only ones who want to live it up

You ain't the only ones

You ain't the only ones who want to live it up

You ain't the only ones

Stay awake, get a grip and get out

You're safe from the weight of the world
