D#m             F#            Bmaj7 F# C#
Don't take yourself so seriously
            D#m                    F#
Look at you all dressed up for someone you never
Bmaj7 F# C#
see
       D#m         F#         Bmaj7          F#
You're here for a reason but you don't know why
       D#m       F#           Bmaj7        F#
You're split and uneven your hands to the sky
Bmaj7
Surrender yourself

Chorus:
             D#m         C#/F      G#/C#
And I wonder why I tear myself down
                         A#7
To be built back up again
                 B       C#
Oh I hope somehow, I'll wake up young again
D#m            C#/F  G#/C#
All that's left of myself
                         A#7
Holes in my false confidence
                      B
And now I lay myself down
           C#                 D#m C#/F G#/C# A#7 B
And hope I wake up young again

       C#
Hope I wake up young again

Don't let those demons in again
I fill the void up with polished doubt,
fake sentiment
Surrender yourself

Chorus

Hope I wake up young again
Hope I wake up young again


D#m            F#              B F# C#/F
Why won't you take me seriously
           D#m                   F#
Look at me all fucked up over someone
            B   F#
I'll never meet

Chorus:
And I wonder why I tear
myself down to be built back up again
Oh, I hope somehow,
I'll wake up young again
All that's left of myself,
holes in my false confidence
And now I lay myself down and hope
I wake
I wonder why I tear myself
down to be built back up again
Oh, I hope somehow
I wake up young again
All that's left of myself,
holes in my false confidence
And now I lay myself down and hope
I wake up young again

Hope I wake up young again
Hope I wake up young again
