C              F
Stay out super late tonight
G 
picking apples, making pies
C                         F        G
put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
           Am         F      G 
we're half-awake in a fake empire
           Am         F      G
we're half-awake in a fake empire

Tiptoe through our shiny city 

with our diamond slippers on

do our gay ballet on ice

bluebirds on our shoulders

we're half-awake in a fake empire

we're half-awake in a fake empire


Am    F     G   

Am    G     F     G

Turn the light out say goodnight
no thinking for a little while
lets not try to figure out everything at once
It's hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
we're half-awake in a fake empire
we're half-awake in a fake empire
