Lyrics

Feel ing my way through the dark ness,

guid ed by a beat ing (D)heart.

I can’t tell where the jour ney will (D)end,

but I (G)know where to (D)start.

They tell me (G)I’m too young to un der stand.

They say I’m (G)caught up in a dream.

Well, life will (G)pass me by if (D)I don’t o pen (D)up my eyes.

Well, that’s (G)fine by (D)me.

So wake me (Bm)up when (G)it’s all o ver.

(A)When I’m (Bm)wis er (G)and I’m old er.

(F#)All this (Bm)time I was (G)find ing my (D)self and I

did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

So (F#)wake me (Bm)up when (G)it’s all o ver.

(A)When I’m (Bm)wis er (G)and I’m (D)old er.

(F#)All this (Bm)time I was (G)find ing my (D)self and I

did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

I did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

I did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

I did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

I did n’t know...
