[D] [A]
[G] You follow [D] your feelings, you follow your dreams, you follow the leader into the [A] tree.
[G] And what's in [D] there waiting, [G] neither one of [D] us knows.
You gotta keep one eye open, [F#m] the further [A] you go.
[D] [A]
[G]
You never dreamed you'd [Em] go down on one knee, [A] but now.
[D]
[G]
Who could have seen you'd [Em] be so hard to please [A] somehow?
You feel like a poor boy, a long way from home.
You're just a poor boy, a long way from [G]
home.
[D] [A]
In [C#m] this wake-up time, [Em]
[Bm] time [A] to open up your eyes [G] and rise [D] [A] and shine.
[G] You spend your [D] life dreaming, [G] running around [D] in a trance.
[G] You hang [D] out forever, [F#m] and still [A] miss the dance.

[D] And if you get lucky, you [G] might [D] find someone to help you get over [F#m] the pain [A] that will come.
[D] [A]
[G] Yeah, you were so cool back in high school.
[A] But what happened?

You were so sure [Em]
not to have your [A] spirit stamped.

In this wake-up time, [Em]
[Bm] time to open [A] up your eyes and [G] rise [D] and [A] shine.
[G] Well, if he [D] gets lucky, [G] a boy finds [D] a girl [G] to help him [D] to shoulder the pain in [A] this world.
And if [G] you follow [D] your feelings, [G] you follow [D] your dreams, [G] you might [D] find a forest [F#m] there [A] in the trees.
[B] [A]
[G] Yeah, you'll be alright.
[D] [Em] It's just gonna take time.
[A] But now, [D]
[G]
who could have seen you'd [Em] be so hard to please [A] somehow?
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home.
You're just a poor boy, a long way from [G] home.
[D] [A] In this wake-up time, [Em]
time to open [Bm] up your eyes [A] and [G] rise.
[D] [A]
[G]
Cause it's [D] wake-up time, [A]
[Em]
time to open [Bm] up your eyes [A] and
[G] rise [D] [A] and shine.
