Lyrics

Feel in’ my way through the dark ness,

guid ed by a beat in’ heart.

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

but I (G)know where to start.

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

They say I’m caught up in a dream.

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

Well, that’s (G)fine by 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#7)All this (Bm)time I was (G)find in’ my (D)self and I

did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

So (F#7)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#7)All this (Bm)time I was (G)find in’ my (D)self and I

did n’t (G)know I was (D)lost.

I tried (G)car ry ing the weight of the world,

but I on ly have two (D)hands.

Hope I get a chance to trav el the world,

but I don’t have an y plans.

Wish that I could stay for (D)ev er this (D)young.

Not a fraid to close my (D)eyes.

Life’s a game made for (D)ev ’ry (Asus)one

and (G)love is the prize.

(CN.C.)So wake me I did n’t (G)know I was lost.
