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
