D#
Caught in a cold sweat
Stuck splitting hairs
and drinking too much
          Cm              G#
I'm on my way to striking out
D#
Go to sleep with the pressure
            A#/D
of everyone watching and waiting
They're yours for the taking
    Cm              G#
but I still have my doubts

  A#
Before you ask which way to go
  G#
remember where you've been

Chorus:
      D#
Stay awake get a
grip and get out
        G#
You're safe from the
weight of the world
     D#
Just take a second to
             G#
set things straight
        Cm
I'll be fine even though
               G#
I'm not always right
I can count on the
       D#
sun to shine
Dedication takes
  G#
A lifetime
     A#
But dreams only
last for a night

Figure it out
Boy, you're tripping so pull yourself together
Or you'll wash up like the rest
This ship is sinking
I'm thinking I'm done for
I'll watch as the sails disappear under water
'Cause I'm no captain yet

I said, "Before you ask which way to go
Remember where you've been"

Chorus

D#
Believe you me
I'll give them everything
I'd tell them anything
To show them everything
D#
Believe you me
I'll give them everything
Gm
I'd tell them anything
G#
To show them everything
      D#
Cause you ain't the only
ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
Cm
You ain't the only ones
who want to live it up
G#
You ain't the only ones
D#
You ain't the only ones
who want to live it up
Cm
You ain't the only ones
G#
You ain't the only ones
who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones

Chorus
