[Verse 1]
G
Oh, I was naive
G
My shoes were untied
Bm                   G       C
In Heaven everything is just fine
                   G
But the phones are dead
G
And so is the light
G
And so are you
                    C
And, honey, so am I
                    G
But the Earth still turns
G
For the unconcerned
                                   C
Days pass below like train windows
                G
I was a sapling tree
G
The birds looked like me
                                                C
Oh, I begged my nerves to kick me something new
 
[Chorus]
                  A
From time to time
              G
I'd watch you sleep
Em           Bm                            C C G
Oh, I wonder how much freedom we can dream
         Am            Em            G
And I'm sorry when you wake up to me
 
[Verse 2]
G
I just got tired
                    Am       A     G        Am
Shining steady like a spider web's an empty stage
            G
Now people say
G
What drugs did you take
                        Em     G
And why don't you start taking them again?
Em                         G* Em
But they're not my friends
             G
And if I was dead
                         Bm   G            C
What difference would it ever make to them
               Am
If I got high?
 
[Chorus]
             G
From time to time
      Em               Bm               G    Em* G
Oh, I wonder how much freedom you would need
           Am    C                   G
And I'd be sorry when you wake up to me

[Verse 3]
G
I'm reaching out to you
            Em      G
I'm writing all the time
                     Em     G           C
I don't see deep but I see far and wide
      G
I see dead trees
G
But the roots have leaves
                     Em       G    Em    G                     Em
Just because I can't describe it doesn't mean I shouldn't try
                     G
To untwist the knife
      Em     G
To unmake my mind
C      G                          C
Having been is no way to be alive
 
[Chorus]
         Am
And I'm alive
A                G
When I watch you sleep
Em       Bm               C       Em* G
I wonder how much freedom we need
        Am                       G
And I'm here when you wake up to me
                   C                     G
And I'm still here   when you wake up to me
