Bm          G               D
Feeling my way through the darkness
Bm           G       D
Guided by a beating heart
Bm       G              D
I can’t tell where the journey will end
Bm      G             D
But I know where to start

They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me

Chorus:
           Bm      G        D
So wake me up when it’s all over
A         Bm   G       D
When I’m wiser and I’m older
F#       Bm          G         D
All this time I was finding myself
     A Bm        G         D
And I   didn’t know I was lost
   F#      Bm      G        D
So wake me up when it’s all over
A        Bm    G       D
When I’m wiser and I’m older
F#       Bm          G         D
All this time I was finding myself
     A Bm        G         D
And I   didn’t know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize

Chorus

Bm         G         D  A
I didn’t know I was lost
Bm         G         D  F#
I didn’t know I was lost
Bm         G         D  A
I didn’t know I was lost
Bm         G         D  F#
I didn’t know I was lost
