A             Dm            A
Wake up your time is nearly over
   Dm             A
No more the supernova
   Dm            A  F
No action guaranteed

 A              Dm        A
Wake up you've had an operation
  Dm                A
Ideals above your station
     Dm        F G
Too much reality

Chorus:
 Em                     Dm
Think about the wasted time spending
 A                         G
Watching Mother Nature's knees bending
 Em                Dm         F G
Everybody loves a happy ending

Wake up, you're on your own agenda
Give up the great pretender
With baby eyes of green

Wake up, you're holding on to nothing
You know you're only bluffing
As dead as autumn leaves

Chorus

F              G
Don't you just love a happy ending?
F            G
Oh yeah well so do I
    F                  G             A
And all your love will shine on everyone

    Em
The darkness of the day
   A
A curse in every way
    Em
You try to see the light
                    A
But you don't know why, don’t know why

     Em
They tell you on the phone
    A
To give your God a bone
      C      G     C                  G
And grow a set of wings like a butterfly

    Em
The guardian at the gate
   A
Reminds you that you're late
     Em
You try to take your time
                 A
But you tow the line, tow the line.

    Em
To children of the world
     A
And daddy's little girl
      C        G      C                  G
The grass is always green on the other side
     F        Em          A
So stay and breathe new life

Wake up
Bm       C#m
Wake up, wake up
     Bm              C#m             Bm
Everything is moving faster than you think
            C#m            Bm
Your pen is running out of ink
             C#m              Bm
Fill up your bath and kitchen sink
               C#m          Bm
They're really kicking up a stink
          C#m               Bm
You never found the missing link
              C#m          Bm
You should be happy in the pink
            C#m             Bm
You're in demand but out of sync
         C#m          Bm
A nod is as good as a wink
             C#m                 Bm
Once more my dear friends to the brink
G                  A             E
All your love will shine on everyone
