Tom: C
C Dm Am F
[Verse 1]
C
Went to the wrong school
Dm
Wearing the wrong shoes
Am F C
They told me that I should sit down and just bite my tongue
'Cause if you're lucky
Dm
You'll get to university
Am
Say three hail Marys
F C Dm
And everything bad will be gone
[Refrain]
Am G F
But I'm so tired of standing still
Am G F
And I'm not buying what you're trying to sell
[Chorus]
C
So don't wake me up
Dm Am
If you're only going to tell me to give it up
F C
Then say everything I do is never enough
Dm
'Cause you're lying through your teeth
Am
We don't fit into your boxes
F
We're all different underneath
C Dm
Don't wake me up
[Verse 2]
C
When I got my first guitar
Dm
My father told me "Son
Am F C
Four chords is all you need to show people just who you are"
So I played to strangers
Dm
Down by the backstreets
Am F
And everytime they caught me dreaming I'd say
[Chorus]
C
So don't wake me up
Dm Am
If you're only going to tell me to give it up
F C
Then say everything I do is never enough
Dm
'Cause you're lying through your teeth
Am
We don't fit into your boxes
F
We're all different underneath
C Dm
Don't wake me up
Am F
Don't wake me up
[Refrain]
Am G F
'Cause I'm so tired of standing still
Am G F
And I'm not buying what you are trying to sell
C Dm Am
So don't wake me up
[Chorus]
F C
Oh, oh, oh, don't wake me up
Dm Am
If you're only going to tell me to give it up
F C
Then say everything I do is never enough
Dm
'Cause you're lying through your teeth
Am
We don't fit into your boxes
F
We're all different underneath
C Dm
Don't wake me up
Am F
Don't wake me up
C Dm Am F
Don't wake me up
C
Don't wake me up
