C
Of all the foolish things to do

           Am
I became a connoisseur of great excuse

    Fadd9
And my pessimistic past the blame

     Gsus4               G
Will never make this go away

C
Of all the foolish things I’ve said

     Am
That keep me sleepy almost dead

    Fadd9
I’m sorry if I’ve let you down

   Gsus4                          G
My eyes were closed, they’re open now

    C
I'm waking up

     Am
I am waking up

     Fadd9
I am waking up

   Gsus4    G
I awake

    C
And this has all been said before

     Am
I’ve listened but then I ignored

   Fadd9
My ears grew deaf, My head gave up

    Gsus4                    G
The junkie knows not when to stop

   C
Of all the foolish alibis

    Am
The constipated push for why

     Fadd9
I’ve had a blanket pulled over my eyes

   Gsus4                   G
Oh hush now baby don’t you cry

    C
I'm waking up

     Am
I am waking up

     Fadd9
I am waking up

   Gsus4    G
I awake

    C
I'm waking up

            Am
Coming I am waking up

               Fadd9
I'm ready I am waking up

   Gsus4    G
I awake
