G
Of all the foolish things to do
Em
I became a connoisseur of great excuse
C9
And my pessimistic past the blame
D4 D
Will never make this go away
G
Of all the foolish things I’ve said
Em
That keep me sleepy almost dead
C9
I’m sorry if I’ve let you down
D4 D
My eyes were closed, they’re open now
G
I'm waking up
Em
I am waking up
C9
I am waking up
D4 D
I awake
G
And this has all been said before
Em
I’ve listened but then I ignored
C9
My ears grew deaf, My head gave up
D4 D
The junkie knows not when to stop
G
Of all the foolish alibis
Em
The constipated push for why
C9
I’ve had a blanket pulled over my eyes
D4 D
Oh hush now baby don’t you cry
G
I'm waking up
Em
I am waking up
C9
I am waking up
D4 D
I awake
G
I'm waking up
Em
Coming I am waking up
C9
I'm ready I am waking up
D4 D
I awake
