Intro: Ab  G     C  F  F  G     C  F  F  G 


Verse: 
        C                F 
When I woke, I was not awake 
                            G 
Light from the sun felt so far away 
       C                     F 
I went up, with all of my strength 
                                 G 
Straight for the sun, from the depths I sprang 


BREAK: 
        F             G 
And I drank from the sea 
       C                       F 
But it opened up and swallowed me 
      F         G 
So I sank down deep 
          C                      F 
Now I'm drunken like a seasick dream 
         Ab              
In this dream,  
       G   C F F G 
I am awake 
       C   F F G 
I am awake 


Verse: 
       C                   F 
Well when did all of the waves 
                       G 
Roll right in and make me their slave 
      C            F 
So I went so far away 
                               G 
I didn't look back, I'll come back someday 


BREAK: 
       F              G 
Mamma wept, and she weeped 
            C                            F 
She said horizon don't you take him from me 
       F            G 
Black sails on the sea 
      C                   F 
Just carry me until I can be 
  Ab             G 
Awake, in this dream 
      C        F   
I'm a-wa-a-a-a-ake
