charts...

       v   v   v   v     v   v   v   v

Verse 1:

      B5           B5
      Open up your eyes and wake up
      B5           E5                F#5
      Got a lot of time to make up, girl
      B5              Bm9(7M)
      Time goes by in such a hurry
      B5             E5             F#5
      Why'd you sit around and worry so, don't you know
      A5                       C#5
      You've been living your life in a shell
      Ab5                 F#5                E5
      Now's the time has come to break the spell

Chorus:

      C5     G5      F5            C5
      Everybody's got to shine sometime
       C5            G5        F5        G5
      It's just a matter of time you know
                 A5        G5         F5      C5
      There's a whole new world for you to discover
      Bb5   F5    F5   G5
      Wake up, wake up

Verse 2:

      Life is just a book of pages
      And you still got so many to fill in
      Don't put down what's happenin' around you
      Just because they told you it's a sin
      How do you know until you try
      Love is callin' so spread your wings and fly

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

      C#m7-5 F#5      B5
         Got so many things to show you
      C#m7-5    F#5        B5
        Groovy things that we can share together
      C#m7-5 F#5    B5          Bb+       A5
        Baby, no no no don't be afraid of tomorrow
