[Intro]

[Verse 1]
EmHey lucid dreamer make up your Dmind caught on the other siCde
You feel the wDorld stop spinning just before you see the liEmght
Knowing you'll wake in your empty rDoom, you dream for the one you swooCn
But daDrk clouds are arriving the sun will be rising sooEmn
And that's just the probDlem, the silence before the storCm
Can't you feel the earthDquake comin' on?
[Chorus]
CYeah yB7eah
You Emwake to find that she dDoesn't even know you're aliCve
You sew your eB7yes shut open up 
'Cause there's no Amway that you can wake B7up until you tell her Emso
[Verse 2]
You know it's not the real wEmorld, you can't imagine what her tDouch could be
Back when the hour glass wCas full, thought you could float upon a dDifferent breeze
But now that wind is sEmtarting to blow not Din your control
And it's almost dCawn, can't you feel the earthDquake comin' on?
[Chorus]
CYeah yB7eah
You Emwake to find that she dDoesn't even know you're aliCve
You sew your eB7yes shut open up 
'Cause there's no Amway that you can wake B7up until you tell her soC  Am  
UnEmtil you tDell her sCoooAm  Em  D  
[Bridge]
So you cuAmrse at the sun to give into your love like a Emswitch that can be turned on
Like you sAmleep with a plug in your back sure enough there's a Empoint it will come undone
Well you're Cnot alonEme
You're Cnot alonEme
You're Cnot alonEme (Not alone)
You're Cnot alonEme (Not alone)
'Cause she sEmleeps in fear of another yAmear that you keep Emaverting your eDyes
You don't hEmave a clue that she Amstares at you cause you Embusy dreaming a Dlie
A lDie, a lD#ie, a liD#me
[Chorus]
CYeah yB7eah
You Emwake to find that she dDoesn't even know you're aliCve
You sew your eB7yes shut open up 
'Cause there's no wAmay that you can wake B7up until you tell her soEm
