C         D
Speaking a different language

standing six feet apart

C          D
Wanting to see you more often but

    Em      G
visiting is hard (at least it feels like it)

C         D
Nothing I say can matter

Em             G
quiet voice on empty air

C                      D
It's been months since you quit speaking

Em               G
assumed an empty stare
[Chorus]
C     D            Em
      It's 1 AM in Tokyo

G                C
The sun is up at home

D                 Em
Six hours from my house to yours

G                      C
Seems further when I'm close

D
Wake up

Em                   G
I can't let you just lay there and sleep

C      D
Please wake up

Em                          G
There's still time if you'd stay up with me
[Interlude] C D Em G (x2) [Verse 2]
C     D               Em
Shame dripping out of my skin

G            C
Both born in July

                      D
when the weather gets nice

                  Em
I'll come see you again

G
I'll bring you some flowers
[Chorus]
C    D            Em
     It's 3 AM in Tokyo

G                C
The sun is up at home

D                 Em
Six hours from my house to yours

G                      C
Seems further when I'm close

D                 Em
It seems like I'm afraid of you

G                  C
Like I try to stay away

D                    Em
Hate to look at what became of you

G             C
A name we had engraved

D
Wake up

Em                   G
I can't let you just lay there and sleep

C      D
Please wake up

Em                          G
There's still time if you'd stay up with me

C      D
Please wake up

Em                   G
I'll call home every day if you'd stay

C      D
Please wake up

Em              G
I'll call home  I'll call home  I'll call home
[Bridge]
        C                       D
There's cattails growing in the ditch

                         Em
Where we would cross the road

                  G
To skip rocks and sit by the creek

C                       D
Car parts littering the front lawn

                 Em
Of the house you raised me in

        G
back in high school

               C
The town falls apart

                     D
there's nothing left familiar

                Em
Everything that meant anything

       G
broken down  or it died

      C                D
And I sat here missing everything

             Em
from my city apartment

  Em                          G
I can't let you lay there and sleep

     D                           Em
Still time if you'd stay up with me

        G                       Em
I won't ignore all the people I love anymore

          D
If you'd give me a second now
[Chorus]
C   D            Em
    It's 5 AM in Tokyo

G                C
and half a world away

D                Em
I'm sitting in a parking lot

G                     C
you're laying in your grave

D            Em
And now I am afraid of you

G                     C
to know that it's all done

D            Em
I didn't try hard enough

G              C
to be a proper son

D      Em    G
Please       wake up

C    D      Em    G
     Please       wake up
