Chords

[Verse 1] N.C. Who am I to say what any of this means
Dm          Am
I have been sleepwalking

Gm              C
Since I was fourteen

    F             C
Now as I write my song

F            Bb
I retrace my steps

Dm             Am
Honestly, it’s easier

   Gm            C
To let myself forget

         F              C
Still, I check my vital signs

       F         Bb
Choked up, I realize

Dm                  Am
I’ve been less than half myself

    Gm                C
For more than half my life
[Chorus]
     Gm      C
Wake up

        F      Bb
Fall in love again

     Gm         C
Wage war on gravity

                      F                   Bb
There’s so much worth fighting for you’ll see

        Gm  F  C
Another domino falls

       F
Either way
[Verse 2]
   F               C
It looks like empathy

   F              Bb
To understand all sides

    Dm                 Am
But I’m just trying to find myself

        Gm             C
Through someone else’s eyes

   F               C
So show me what to do

     F                   Bb
To restart this heart of mine

Dm          Am
How do I forgive myself

    Gm             C
For losing so much time?
[Chorus]
     Gm      C
Wake up

             F      Bb
Roll up your sleeves

                  Gm             C
There’s a chain reaction in your heart

          F
Muscle memory

                    Bb
Remembering who you are

      Gm    C
Stand up

            F                         Bb
And fall in love again and again and again

     Gm          C
Wage war on gravity

                       F                   Bb
There’s so much worth fighting for, you’ll see

        Gm  F  C
Another domino falls

            F   C  Dm
And another domino falls
[Verse 3]
  F           C
A little at a time

F            Bb
I feel more alive

          Dm                 Am
I let the scale tip and feel all of it

       Gm              C
It’s uncomfortable but right

F               C
We were born to try

   F              Bb
To see each other through

            Dm                 Am
To know and love ourselves and others well

            Gm            C
Is the most difficult and meaningful

                F
Work we’ll ever do
