Wake another day, to a different sky
Some take the fast lane
But this is my life

Swim upstream to a warm place
Lay with the trees
Feel the sun on my face


---Interlude---
Note: The notes on the E and A strings are strummed (with your thumb),
not plucked. The notes on the D and G strings are plucked with your index
and/or middle finger.  This gives a nice effect with the bass notes.

---Verse---
Crystals shine brighter on the water
My own fireworks show
One only dreamers know

Wild as the night bring me closer
Never want to feel getting older
I'm leaving time behind

---Interlude---
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ahhhhhhhh
Ah Ah Ah Ah Ahhhhhhhh

---Bridge---
Note: The bridge follows this C-G-D, C-D-Bm progression and it's kind of
open to interpretation.  I've tabbed out the basic pattern based on what
I pick out of the song and the plucking pattern in the Interlude.  By the
3rd time through the bridge, the guitar is definitely getting messier with
added notes (e.g. open B and e strings thrown into the mix).

I wake up on an island
No better place I know
I wake up on an island
Where I call home
