INTRO:
Bb
VERSE:
I awBboke that day in the Gmafternoon 
And my Ebbed was in a basket 
Underneath the blue ballFoon 
Then a sBbwarm of moths surrGmounded me 
And my hEbair was standing on its end 
With electriciFty 
VERSE:
And as BbI looked down on Gmmy whole life 
I was sEbpeeding through the forest 
On a motorbFike 
I wBbaved to you 
But you cGmouldn't see 
I could hEbear a crowd of people
Calling after Fme 
CHORUS:
WEbake up little dDreamer 
It's tBbime to rGise 
Open Ebmup your eFyes  
Open Ebmup your eFyes 
Open Ebmup your eFyes 
VERSE:
I've been hBbolding out for a lGmifeline 
Till I fEbollowed you 
To the deFpths of my own mind 
I've been wBbondering kinda scGmattershot 
Bumping Ebinto other people's lives 
Without a second thoFught 
VERSE:
Now I Bbdo believe in the Gmmystical 
That we hEbave some vague connection 
To the other wForld 
And now wBbhat I've said 
May not Gmall be true 
But this sEbilver song I sing tonight 
I swFear it's just for you 
CHORUS:
WEbake up little dDreamer 
It's tBbime to rGise 
Open Ebmup your eFyes  
Open Ebmup your eFyes 
Open Ebmup your eFyes Bb

INTRO:

VERSE:

Bb Gm

I awoke that day in the afternoon

And my bed was in a basket

Underneath the blue balloon

Bb Gm

Then a swarm of moths surrounded me

And my hair was standing on its end

With electricity

VERSE:

Bb Gm

And as I looked down on my whole life

I was speeding through the forest

On a motorbike

I waved to you

But you couldn't see

I could hear a crowd of people

Calling after me

CHORUS:

Eb D

Wake up little dreamer

Bb G

It's time to rise

Ebm F

Open up your eyes

Ebm F

Open up your eyes

Ebm F

Open up your eyes

VERSE:

Bb Gm

I've been holding out for a lifeline

Till I followed you

To the depths of my own mind

Bb Gm

I've been wondering kinda scattershot

Bumping into other people's lives

Without a second thought

VERSE:

Bb Gm

Now I do believe in the mystical

That we have some vague connection

To the other world

And now what I've said

May not all be true

But this silver song I sing tonight

I swear it's just for you

CHORUS:

Eb D

Wake up little dreamer

Bb G

It's time to rise

Ebm F

Open up your eyes

Ebm F

Open up your eyes

Ebm F Bb

Open up your eyes
