C#5
Have i been sleeping?
         B5
I?ve been so still
                       F#5
Afraid of crumbling
                     C#5
Have i been careless?
       B5                F#5
Dismissing all the distant rumblings
      B5
Take me where i am supposed to be
           G#5
To comprehend the things that i can?t see


                         F#5
Cause i need to move
               C#5
I need to wake up
                G#5
I need to change
                B5
I need to shake up
                         F#5
I need to speak out
                                C#5
Something?s got to break up
                   G#5
I?ve been asleep
                       B5     C#5
And i need to wake up
D#5
Now


F#5           C#5
       And as a child
      B5                   F#5
I danced like it was 1999
                           C#5
My dreams were wild
          B5
The promise of this new world
                F#5
Would be mine
                   B5
Now i am throwing off the carelessness of youth
           G#5
To listen to an inconvenient truth


                        F#5
That i need to move
               C#5
I need to wake up
                G#5
I need to change
                B5
I need to shake up
                        F#5
I need to speak out
                               C#5
Something?s got to break up
                   G#5
I?ve been asleep
                        B5   C#5
And i need to wake up
D#5
Now


C#5            C#5
      I am not an island
                 B5
I am not alone
C#5               C#5
      I am my intentions
                    B5              B5
Trapped here in this flesh and bone


                       F#5
And i need to move
                C#5
I need to wake up
               G#5
I need to change
                B5
I need to shake up
                         F#5
I need to speak out
                               C#5
Something?s got to break up
                G#5
I?ve been asleep
                       B5      B5
And i need to wake up
F#5      C#5
Now


                   G#5
I want to change
                B5
I need to shake up
                F#5
I need to speak out
                      C#5
Oh, something?s got to break up
                  G#5
I?ve been asleep
                       B5     C#5
And i need to wake up?  Now
