Em            C Am
Trying to forget
 D                  Em C Am D
Something that you know
   Em                  C Am
It hasn't killed you, yet
         D            Em C Am D
But you cannot let it go

 Em         C  Am
Trying to exist
  D             Em  C Am D
Trying not to scream
Em              C  Am
How it does persist
    D               Em  C Am
Entrapped inside a dream

Chorus:
 D                 Em  C Am
Fighting's not the answer
 D                 Em  C Am
Fighting's not the cure
     D                Em C Am
It's eating you like cancer
      D               Em C Am
It's killing you for sure
 D               Em C Am
Wake me when it's over
 D               Em C Am
Wake me when it's over
 D               Em C Am
Wake me when it's over
 D               Em C  Am  D
Wake me when it's over aah aaah

Living in the past
It’s difficult to hide
Some things will never last
When you’re swallowing your pride

Chorus

          Em    C
Watch the rain drop
          Am     D
Watch the rain drop
          Em     C
Watch the rain drop
          Am     D
Watch the rain drop
          Em     C
Watch the rain drop
          Am     D
Watch the rain drop
          Em     C Am
Watch the rain drop

    D               Em C Am
So wake me when it's over
 D               Em C Am
Wake me when it's over
 D               Em C Am
Wake me when it's over
 D               Em C Am
Wake me when it's over
 D               Em C Am
Wake me when it's over
 D               Em C Am
Wake me when it's over
 D               Em C Am
Wake me when it's over
D                Em C Am D Em
Wake me when it's over aah
