Gmadd4 Gmadd4     Gmadd4 Gmadd4
D7#5/F# D7#5/F#   D7#5/F# D7#5/F#
 
[Verse 1]
              Gmadd4
Is this how I die?
D7#5/F#
Ridiculed and laughed at
        Gmadd4        D7#5/F#
Wearing clown shoes
              Gmadd4
Is this how I die?
D7#5/F#
Furious and reckless
          Gmadd4   D7#5/F#
Sick with booze
          Eb6/G  Eb6
How did I live?
        F7/Eb
I taste every wasted minute
      Bb/D   Bb7     Ebadd2   Cmadd4
Every time I turned away
                                Ebm6
From the things that might have healed me
                     Bbmaj7/D   Ebadd2
How long have I been sleeping?
 
[Verse 2]
              Gmadd4
Is this how I die?
D7#5/F#
Frightened like a child
         Gmadd4   D7#5/F#
Lazy and numb
              Cm11
Is this how I die?
   Ebm(maj7)      Ebm6
Pretending and preposterous
    Gmadd4
And dumb
          Ebadd2
How did I live?
      F7/Eb
Was I kind enough and good enough?
      Bb/D Bb7 Ebadd2   Cmadd4
Did I love    enough?
                               Ebm6
Did I ever look up and see the moon
Ebm6
And the stars
        Bb/F
And the sky?
   Ebm6/Gb         Bbadd2    Bb7
Oh why have I been sleeping?
 
[Chorus]
     Eb          D7
They say we are asleep
D7/F#    Gm9  Gm9/D Ddim/F
Until we fall in    love
Bbmaj13 Gm11/Eb    Ebdim7/D Gm
We are children of dust and ashes
    Cm9                          F7
But when we fall in love we wake up
    D11/F#   Gm
And we are a God
    Eb     Bb   Bb/F   Dm7#5/Eb
And angels weep
                      Bb/F
But if I die here tonight
  F7        Bb      D7/F#
I die in my sleep
 
[Bridge]
Gm        Gm6          Am6           C9/A
All of my life I spent searching the words
   D9/Bb     Bb+        C            Dadd4/C
Of poets and saints and prophets and kings
    Gm         Gm6       Am6            C9/A
And now at the end all I know that I’ve learned
        D9/Bb      Bb+       C            Dadd4/C
Is that all that I know is I don’t know a thing
   Eb            Bb
So easy to close off
          D7       Gm
Place the blame outside
Eb           Bb
Hiding in my room at night
   D7   Gm
So terrified
Gm               D7/F#
All the things I could have been
      Ab/Eb         Eb
But I never had the nerve
D7       Gm
Life and love
  Bb/F  F7 Bb  G7/B
I don’t deserve
       Cm         G7
So all right, all right
     Ab     Eb
I’ve had my time
D7       Gm
Close my eyes
Cm/Eb   Bb/F  F7    Bb    G7/B
Let the death bells chime
Cm         Gmaj7
Bury me in burgundy
  Ab         Eb
I just don’t care
D7        Gm
Nothing’s left
Cm/Eb    Bb/F F7 Bb
I looked everywhere
 
[Verse 3]
   D7/F#      Gm  Gm/D
Is this how I die?
          D7#5/F#        D7#5              Gm  Gm/D D7#5/F# D7#5
Was there ever any other way my life could be?
              Cm7 Cm7/G
Is this how I die?
       Ebm(maj7) Ebm(maj7)/Gb  Gm          Gm/D  Gm
Such a storm     of feelings inside of me?
                  Ebadd2
But then why am I screaming?
         F7/Eb
Why am I shaking?
   Bb/D           Bb7              Ebadd2   Cm7
Oh God, was there something that I missed?
                    Ebm(maj7)
Did I squander my divinity?
    Bb/F         D7/F#            Gm
Was happiness within me the whole time?
 
[Chorus]
N.C.
They say we are asleep
N.C.
Until we fall in love
N.C.
We are children of dust and ashes
N.C.
But when we fall in love we wake up
N.C.
And we are a God
N.C.
And angels weep
N.C.
But if I die here tonight
            Bb     Bb7
I die in my sleep
     Eb          D7
They say we are asleep
         Gm      Bb7add4
Until we fall in love
           Eb
And I’m so ready
        Ebm(maj7)
To wake up now
 
[Outro]
               Bb7/D  Ebm6  Bb/F
I want to wake up
             Ebm6/Gb   Abadd2   Bb7/D  Ebm6  Bb/F  Ebm6/Gb
Don’t let me die while I’m like this
  Abadd2       Bb7/D  Ebm6
I want to wake up
 Bb/F            Ebm6/Gb   Abadd2   Bb7/D  Ebm6  Bb/F  Ebm6/Gb
God don’t let me die while I’m like this
       Abadd2      Bb7/D   Ebm6
Please let me wake up now
 Bb/F            Ebm6/Gb            Abadd2  Adim7  Ebm6/Bb  Ebm6/C
God don’t let me die while I’m like this
    Bb7/D  Ebm6  Bb7/F  Ebm6/Gb
I’m ready
    Ab13  Ebm6/Bb  Ebm6/C  Bb9/D  B7/Eb
I’m ready
        Bb  Ebm6  Bb  Ebm6 Cdim7 Bb
To wake up
