[Intro]
 G(2 bars)  Bm(2 bars)  Am(2 bars)  Cm(1 bar) Cm+ (1 strum)
[Verse 1]
N.C                           G  Bm  
We'll fight the fire, with the flame
                                             Am            Cm  Cm+
We've walked this road before, we'll walk this road again
The Ghorizon, was blocked with Bmhaze
                                       Am             Cm  Cm+
And I fell vacant, like a letter with no resting place
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7I have no idea what I'm Amdoing
Bm7And not a memory of what I've Amdone
Bm7She lives in a house made of glass and i Amkeep throwing stones at her window
Bm7Away from the wars and mistakes is a Amroom where she sleeps alone solo
[Chorus]
GWake up sleepy head she Bmsays to me
                                    Am                    Cm  Cm+
We have a city at our doorstep, and a set of feet to keep me
GHigh in the clouds over the Bmbusy streets
                                        Am                     Cm  Cm+
i'm in love when my eyes are open, when i sleep my dreams take over
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
N.C                            G  Bm  
I fear the future, and how it's told
                                          Am             Cm  Cm+
Will someone love me, or will i die with no heart at all?
I drowned in Gemotion, beneath a heavy Bmstone
                                       Am            Cm  Cm+
I care for people, altough I have my own broken bones
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm7I have no idea where I'm Amgoing
Bm7And not a memory of where I've Amgone
Bm7I'm playing with fire all the time and i Amdont give a damn for the outcome
Bm7I walk with a skip in my step 'cos i Amknow someday I'll be someone
[Chorus]
GWake up sleepy head she Bmsays to me
                                    Am                    Cm  Cm+
We have a city at our doorstep, and a set of feet to keep me
GHigh in the clouds over the Bmbusy streets
                                        Am                     Cm  Cm+
i'm in love when my eyes are open, when i sleep my dreams take over
GWake up sleepy head she Bmsays to me
                                    Am                    Cm  Cm+
