E
I'm awake in the afternoon
F#m7
I fell asleep in the living room
     Asus2
It's one of those moments
     C#m5             Asus2
When everything is so clear.


E
Before the truth goes back into hiding
F#m7
I wanna decide 'cause it's worth deciding
   Asus2           C#m5                     Asus2
To work on finding something more than this fear.

    D9           C#m5          Asus2
It takes so much out of me to pretend.
 D9           C#m5           Asus2
Tell me now, tell me how to make amends.

E                          B5
Maybe, I need to see the daylight
G#7                 C#m9
Leave behind this half-life
                   Asus2
Don't you see I'm breaking down.

E                               B5
Oh lately, something here don't feel right
G#7              C#m9
this is just a half-life
                A9         A9/G#
Is there really no escape,
                F#m7 E         B5
No escape from time    of any kind?

Interlude: C#m-B9-Asus2



E
I keep trying to understand
F#m7
This thing and that thing, my fellow man
   Asus2             C#m5                  Asus2
I guess I'll let you know when i figure it out.


E
But I don't mind a few mysteries
F#m7
They can stay that way it's fine by me
    Asus2            C#m5          Asus2
But, you are another mystery i am missing.

D9                C#m5          Asus2
It takes too much out of me to pretend.

Come on lets fall in love, again...


EH, THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
