   A                      E        A
I woke up in a strangers bed with pins
                   E
and needles in my head
          A                    E
And the clock ticking off the wall
C#m      B
Oh yeah, oh yeah
A                    E
I don't even know myself
   A                      E
I wish I could be someone else
    A                      E
But I don't have a clue at all
C#m  B
Oh yeah

A E
  I'm sinking,
A E
  You're waiting
A E             C#m               B
  I'm thinking something's gotta give

Chorus:
A E     B        C#m
Wake me up, say enough is enough
A    E        B
I'm dying to live
B            C#m  A
Something's gotta give
 E       B           F#
Pull me out of this sinking town
A    E        B
I'm dying to live
B    C#m
Something's gotta give

Maybe I'm a fucking waste
Filling up the empty space
I've been here way too long
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm feeling like a nervous wreck
Living on the last paycheck
I'm the cliché in a song
And everybody's singing along

I'm sinking, you're wading
I'm thinking something's gotta give

Chorus

C#m             E            B            F#m
Someone please come pull me out from the shadow
       A
of my doubt
        G#
Wake me up, I'm falling…

Chorus:
Oh, wake me up, say enough is enough
I'm dying to live, something's gotta give
Oh, pull me out of this sinking town
I'm dying to live, something's gotta give
I'm sinking, you're waiting
I'm thinking something's gotta give
Oh, pull me out of this sinking town
I'm dying to live, something's gotta give
