C                   F
When are you gonna wise up, boy?
C                   F
When are you gonna wise up, boy?
C                   F
When are you gonna wise up, boy?
C                   F
When are you gonna wise up, boy?

C                     F
You're hiding in your mind
                C
working all the time
                    F
trying to make it better than you got it
     C                             F
And you've been spending all your time
                 C
searching for a sign
                      F
That's never going to look the way you wanted

C                   F
I think you better wise up, boy
C                   F
I think you better wise up, boy
C                   F
I think you better wise up, boy
C                   F
I think you better wise up, boy
