Em
There's a mad dog pulling at his chain
A 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

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

Wake up, wake up and smell the bacon

Run your greasy fingers through her hair

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

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] B A# A# A B A# A# A E
