[G#]
Jesus, [D#m] Jesus help me I'm [E] alone in this [D#m] world
[C#m] [B] And a fucked up world [D#m] it is [F#] too [G#]
Tell me, tell [D#m] me the story
The one [E] about eternity [C#m] And [G#m] the [B] way it's all [F#] gonna be
[G#m] Wake up, wake up [F#] dead man [C#] [G#m] Wake up, wake up [F#] dead [C#] man
[G#]
Jesus, I'm [F#] waiting here boss I know you're [E] looking out for [C#m] us
But [G#m] baby [B] your hands [F#] are free
Your [G#]
father made the [F#] world in seven He's in [E] charge of heaven
[C#m] [B] Will you put a word in [F#] for me?
[G#m] Wake up, wake [F#] up dead man [B] [C#] [G#m] Wake up, wake [F#] up dead [Bm] man
[C#] So [G#]
you don't wanna stay, tell you what to do
[F#] Listen to the rhythm that's confusing you
[E] Listen to the rhythm [C#m] of saxophone [B] Listen to the hum [F#] of the radio
[G#m] Listen to the sounds, [F#] listen to the traffic
Listen to the [G#m] ocean, [E] listen to the smoke
[C#m] When all is quiet, [E] [B] listen to the magic [F#] that's in the air
[G#m] Wake up, wake [F#] up dead man [B] [C#] Wake [G#m] up, wake [F#] up dead man
[C#] [G#m]
Jesus, were you just [F#] around the corner?
Did you think to [E] try and warn [C#m] her?
Were [B] you working on something [F#] new?
If [G#m] there's an order in all of [F#] this disorder
Is it like [E] a tape recorder?
[F#] [C#m] [B] Can we rewind it just [F#] once more?
[G#] Wake up, [G#m] wake [F#] up dead man [C#] Wake [G#m]
up, wake up [F#]
dead man
[C#] [G#m]
Wake up, [F#] wake up dead man
