Shake Me Awake

	  		
Intro: E A E   A E B E 

    E                      A 
When bliss can't be found 
E 
I stumble around 
     F#m              B 
In a daze without a destination 
E                     A 
If you wanna go now, honey honey 
 E 
Save me a seat 
 F#m                   B 
Cuz I know I'd find relief 
 F#m                    B 
Oh, if I could just suspend my disbelief 

 A          E 
Oh! I got low for a minute 
    A                             E           G#m 
To think about the places I don't go when I'm stuck in the race 
A            E 
Oh! I gotta let go of tomorrow 
        Am 
Cuz I never would've missed today 

                  E 
Come and shake me awake (shake, shake me awake) 
                 G#m 
And pull me far away (so far away) 
          Bm                               A 
From the endless circles I've been running in 
                         E 
I've had about all I can take (so take, take, take me away) 
               G#m 
So take me far away (so far, far away) 
      Bm 
To a life that's far less ordinary 
  A 
Before I'm in the mortuary 

E  A 

E                     A 
If day becomes dusk 
E 
Don't let that stop us 
        F#m             B 
On our way to something more uncertain 
E                      A 
Cuz when we arrive, oh honey honey 
E 
Wherever we're goin' 
       F#m           B 
We may never want to leave 
        F#m                B 
So just stay a while with me 


                  E 
Come and shake me awake (shake, shake me awake) 
                 G#m 
And pull me far away (so far away) 
          Bm                               A 
From the endless circles I've been running in 
                         E 
I've had about all I can take (so take, take, take me away) 
               G#m 
So take me far away (so far, far away) 
      Bm                           A 
To a life that's far less ordinary 


C#m                     G# 
How did I get so obsessed with time? 
 C#m                        G# 
When there's no way I could know 
 C#m                       F# 
How long I'll be before my time 
    B                         E 
So you and I should carve a little out before I go 
 C#m                 G# 
Maybe attend more matinees 
 C#m                   G# 
Spend more time at the park 
C#m                             F# 
Be less concerned with what the haters say 
 B                       E 
Cuz they're just haters (they're just haters anyway) 


 A          E 
Oh! I got low for a minute 
    A                             E           G#m 
To think about the places I don't go when I'm stuck in the race 
A            E 
Oh! I gotta let go of tomorrow 
      Am 
Or I never would've 

Never would've 

Never would've 

Never would've 

Never would've 

Missed today 


                  E 
Come and shake me awake (shake, shake me awake) 
                 G#m 
And pull me far away (so far away) 
          Bm                               A 
From the endless circles I've been running in 
                         E 
I've had about all I can take (so take, take, take me away) 
               G#m 
So take me far away (so far, far away) 
      Bm 
To a life that's far less ordinary 
  A 
Before I'm in the mortuary
