Intro: Am Am Dm Em (4x) 


     Am                       Dm       Em 
It's dark in there and you're quite unaware 
         Am                        Dm          Em 
That the cracks on the ceiling are mocking you 
     Am                    Dm        Em       F 
You're airless bag, you're dust in a shaft of light 
        G         G7 
And you think you might 
E        Am         C         F 
Yeah you might stay there all day 

Heh heh 


    Dm  C    G 
Get up - get on your feet 
    Dm  C         G 
Get up - don't go back to sleep 
    Dm  C        G 
Get up - life is bitter sweet 
         F         C          G 
And it's all going on without you 


       Am                Dm        Em 
You're safe in there, no sharks anywhere 
      Am                             Dm          Em 
Not a soul to get you doing what you don't want 
   Am              Dm     Em          F            G 
Go on pretend it's Sunday again, it's Sunday again 


        Am                   Dm        Em 
It's so warm in there, feels like camembert 
        Am                                  Dm     Em 
All the things you'd do if only you had the energy 
    Am               Dm          Em      F 
You bargain for just ten minutes more of this 
       G        G7 
When a prince's kiss 
E     Am    C    F 
Turns you into a swan 
       
Dream on 


    Dm  C    G 
Get up - get on your feet 
    Dm  C         G 
Get up - don't go back to sleep 
    Dm  C        G 
Get up - life is bitter sweet 
         F         C          G 
And it's all going on without you 
          F           C           G 
Yeah it's all kicking off without you
