G#        C#
I've been waitingfor a long time
A#m       C#
For this moment to come
    G#       C#              A#m C#
I'm destined for anything at all

Downtown lights will be shining
On me like a diamond
Ring out under the midnight hour

Well, no one can touch me now, well
And I can't turn my back
It's too late ready or not at all

Chorus:
     Fm
Well I'm so much
 C 
closer than
D#
I have ever
 A#        C# G# C#
known Wake up

Dawning of a new era
Calling, don't let it catch you
Falling, ready or not at all

Oh so close enough to taste it
Almost, I can embrace this
Feeling on the tip of my tongue

Chorus

C#  G#  C#
Better thank
G#   C# G#  C#  G# C# G# C# G#
your lucky stars
 C#   G#  C# D#
Say, hey, hey!

Chorus

Better thank
your lucky stars
Say, hey, hey!

I've been waiting a lifetime
For this moment to come, I'm
Destined for anything at all.
Dumbstruck, colour me stupid
Good luck, you're gonna need it
Where I'm going, if I get there at all
Wake up! Better thank your lucky stars!
