G
Of all the foolish things to do

           Em
I became a connoisseur of great excuse

    Cadd9
And my pessimistic past the blame

     Dsus4               D
Will never make this go away

G
Of all the foolish things I’ve said

     Em
That keep me sleepy almost dead

    Cadd9
I’m sorry if I’ve let you down

   Dsus4                          D
My eyes were closed, they’re open now

    G
I'm waking up

     Em
I am waking up

     Cadd9
I am waking up

   Dsus4    D
I awake

    G
And this has all been said before

     Em
I’ve listened but then I ignored

   Cadd9
My ears grew deaf, My head gave up

    Dsus4                    D
The junkie knows not when to stop

   G
Of all the foolish alibis

    Em
The constipated push for why

     Cadd9
I’ve had a blanket pulled over my eyes

   Dsus4                   D
Oh hush now baby don’t you cry

    G
I'm waking up

     Em
I am waking up

     Cadd9
I am waking up

   Dsus4    D
I awake

    G
I'm waking up

            Em
Coming I am waking up

               Cadd9
I'm ready I am waking up

   Dsus4    D
I awake
