[D] 1, 2, 3, 4
Wake
[G] [A] [G] up my lover, over the long tangled way
Wake [Dm] up for [G] I have arrived
[D] House is in order now
[Em] Don't you mean all the [D] things that you said you would buy
I [E] [Em] feel this little man has [C] abandoned all his plans
[D] The crumbled moment that [G] I pursued
On your small [Em] heart now, in your [C] downy brown limbs
Which [Cm] I end [Eb] to [G] the glory [D] that is you
Wake up my lover, with the restless hands
Hoping for [G] [D] the day
I cut myself away from all the shackles and chains
Now I'm free, [G] but [D] I'm shaking in the heat
[G] [Bm] I [Em] long to be beside you, [C] I long to be [G] beside you
Make me feel what's gone down and wrong
[Em]
Open your eyes and tell me
[C] That you will stay with me [Cm]
before [Gm] it's [C] really [G]
just [D] far enough
[A] [F]
You say love [Em] is like a fire, well, [Dm] you know it [C]
isn't
[F]
You mean like [Em] any [Dm] fire, I [G]
know
[Em] You [G] [F]
say love is [Em]
forever, [Dm] well, ain't that [C] a crime
Love's [D] [F]
forever, [Em]
I'm getting [Dm] up [G] and going
[D] So [G]
[D]
wake up my lover, with the powder on your skin
I need to disabuse me of all my fears
The accusations, the criminations, the [G]
reaping, the pleading
[D]
Still [G] are ringing in [D] my ears
[Em]
Now wake up my lover, with [C] a curious smile
[D] With praise on your mouth [G] while you dream
I [D] need to feel [Em] you again, I [C] need to hear from you again
[Cm] Tell me [G] you're right and hold me [D] please
