Intro: E G A E (2x)
Abm A
I'm so tired of not moving
G A E
Now my skin is stiff and sore
Abm A
And I'm so tired of not looking
G A E
At that thing that we ignore
Abm A
And I'm so nervous that you'll see me seeing
G A E
If you turn your face anymore
Abm A
And I'm so careful to keep your secrets
G A
What do I do this for
E G A E
Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is on the rise
G
And it's time to open up those blinds and let it shine
A E G A E
On those sleeping dogs you let lie
Abm A
I always wondered where you got the notion
G A E
That your silence does not hurt
Abm A
'Cause I can see the truth when you lean over
G A E
It's in the pocket of your shirt
Abm A
And unspoken, it might feel like mercy
G A E
But all it means is there's things you've never said
Abm A
It only means I have no way of knowing
G A
If it's all in my head
E G A E
Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is in the sky
G
And it's time to open up those blinds and let it shine
A G A E A B A
On those sleeping dogs, sleeping dogs you let lie
B
You know why
