Capo on first fret



A5                                E5
There's a man down my street     every morning wakes up late
D5                                     A5     E5
when he wakes up      he sees what he's become
A5                                  E5
slaps his shoes on his feet        shuts the door and leaves
D5                               A5        E5
working his whole life         oh what a life

-chorus-
D5                                A5
we believe that heaven's gone    to a place we don't belong
F#5                               E5
in a song that makes us sad      in a world that's going mad
D5                               A5
we believe in what we want      cuz it hurts us to be wrong
F#5                                                                      
if i break before it ends   in my heart of hearts
E5
I hope you'll understand



A5                                      E5
there's a school up my street          with some kids i know
                    D5          A5             E5
as blameless the snow          the falling snow
A5
Then a man half insane

           E5                                                
shoots up half the school before taking his own 
D5
life

A5              E5
oh what a life

(chorus)

(background singers A5 )    E....
 3x (wake me up when all the people wanna change) .....

A5
these cops are on the streets there's people breaking into stores
F#5
the sky is falling all around us, and there's one place left to go
D5
cuz i believe in something better, something we were born to receive
E5
and i don't care what anyone says cuz i believe 

(Chorus)
