SC#momeday EI’ll be gAone
To sC#momewhere thEat we belAong
And GF#mod has never plF#m/Eayed his role
'Cause D#mI’m the one who sG#aves my soul
  C#mIt’s a perfect wEorld we’re longing fAor
C#mSo lG#ong...

CC#mursed shadows haunt and gather
C#mIn the city of no answer
C#mAs we follow endless questions
HC#mands up in the same reflection
[Pre-Chorus 1]
 ASometimes we try to feel how things just used to be in yC#mesterdays
G#mNo one ever make it better, no one ever lives forever
WAake me up and let me gG#o
[Chorus 1]
SC#momeday EI’ll be gAone
To sC#momewhere Ewe all belAong
     C#m    G#N.C.
For so long
[Verse 2]
BrC#moken people, broken feelings
FC#meeling numb but know they're bleeding
LC#might and darkness bond together
"FC#maith will save you" (Yeah, whatever...)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
 ASometimes we try to feel how things just used to be in yC#mesterdays
 ABut never seem to believe in wC#mhat we see today

WAake me up and let me gG#o
[Chorus 2]
