A                        
I never knew

            G
Someone was out there

                  Bm      D
A long way from nowhere

                  Asus4   A   G  D/F#
Who could open my eyes

A                                                 
All of this time

              Em
While I was sleeping

                     F
The world changed around me

     Em                  Asus4   A
Now I've never felt more alive

E          A
I'm waking up

                   Em
From a life left behind

             Dmaj7       F
To see what lies ahead

       E   Asus4 A
I'm waking up

A                                  
Faythe found a way

                G
To bring them together

           Bm     D
Once and forever

                   Asus4   A   G  D/F#
And won't let them go

A                               
Nothing I say

                    Em
Can keep her from leaving

                F
Her life has new meaning

   Em                  Asus4   A
I lost her a long time ago

E          A
I'm waking up

                   Em
From a life left behind

            Dmaj7       F
To see what lies ahead

     E     Asus4  A
I'm waking up

E          A
I'm waking up

                     Em
Now that yesterday's gone

               Dmaj7      F
Won't close my eyes again

     E     Asus4  A
I'm waking up

C                       A
I'll plan to return well disguised

C                       Em
Make sure that I'm not recognized

    F                   Am
Tomorrow a new sun will rise

                  G
And somehow I'll find you

Dm            C          Bdim
Nothing will stand in my way

A#b5                  Esus4    E
Soon I will see you again

           A
I'm waking up

                   Em
From a life left behind

            Dmaj7       F
To see what lies ahead

     E     Asus4  A
I'm waking up

E          A
I'm waking up (I'm waking up)

                     Em
Now that yesterday's gone (Now that yesterday's gone)

               Dmaj7                         F
Won't close my eyes again (I will never look back)

I'm waking up
G D/F#
Em                           Bm              
You'll be her shadow as she moves, my son

Em                        Bm
But she can never know you're there

Ebm                    A          Dbm     Eb 
She is alone and rebel guards are everywhere

A                           G#m
I'll keep her safe from all danger

A                       D#m
Won't let her out of my sight

    B                    D#m
Did I fail to mention my honest intentions?

A                     G#m
This is the chance I deserve

Bm      G#dim
Heed my words

D#m      D      D#m
Justice will be served.
