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


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


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


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


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


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


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