   A                       E        A                      E 
 I woke up in a stranger's bed with pins and needles in my head 
         A                     E 
 And the clock ticking off the wall 
 C#m      B 
 Oh yeah, oh yeah 
     A                   E 
 And I don't even know myself 
   A                       E 
 I wish I could be someone else 
       A                    E 
 But I don't have a clue at all 
C#m  B 
 Oh yeah 

A E 
  I'm sinking, 
A E 
  You're waiting 
A E            C#m               B 
  I'm thinking something's gotta give 

A         E        B         C#m 
  Wake me up, say enough is enough 
     A        E         
 I'm dying to live

 I'm dying to live 
 B                 C#m

 A                   E 
 Maybe I'm a fucking waste 
 A                    E 
 Filling up the empty space 
      A                 E 
 I've been here way too long 
 C#m      B 
 Oh yeah, oh yeah 
     A                      E 
 I'm feeling like a nervous wreck 
 A                     E 
 Living on the last paycheck 
         A          E 
 I'm the cliche in a song 
     C#m                  B 
 And everybody's singing along
