[Intro]
Em
B A# A# A
[Verse]
Em
There's a mad dog pulling at his chainA hint of danger in his eye
Em Alarm bells raging round his brain B A# A# A And the chimney's broken in the sky
[Chorus]
A Wake up, wake up and smell the roses C Close your eyes and pray this wind don't change A# There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams A# Nothing but hope at the end of the road A# Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke A# B A# A# A Come on honey it's real money
[Verse]
Em This is the room where they make the explosives Em Where they put your name on the bomb Em Here's where they bury the buts and the ifs B A# A# A And scratch out words like right and wrong
[Chorus]
A Wake up, wake up and smell the phosphorus C This is the room we keep a human heir A# Don't ask don't tell it couldn't be lost for us A# A Little less cash in the stash in the cupboard A# At the bottom of the stair B A# A# A Money honey
[Interlude]
Em
B A# A# A
Em
B A# A# A
[Chorus]
A Wake up, wake up and smell the bacon C Run your greasy fingers through her hair B A# A F#m This is the life that you have taken
[Bridge]
F#m C
[Verse]
Em Just a line in the captain's log Em Just a whine from a resident dog Em Another kid didn't make the grade B A# A# A Come on honey it's a fair trade
[Chorus]
A Wake up, wake up and smell the roses C Throw a photo on the funeral pyre A# Now we can forget the threat she poses A# Girl you know you couldn't get much higher
[Outro]
