B                        C#m          A
Through the glass in my bedroom window
                     B
In the bushes far below
                       C#m          A
I thought I saw an unfamiliar shadow
          A
Among the ones I so clearly know

F#m                      A              B
I was sleeping with the night light unplugged
                            F#m
With a note on the rocking chair
                                       A
That says, "I've been dreaming of the life
        B
I once loved,
So wake me if you're out there."

Chorus:
A                     B   C#m
Living close to the ground
                        F#                       A
Is seventh Heaven cuz there are angels all around
                          B
Among my frivolous thoughts
     E               B/D#      C#m
I believe there are beautiful things seen by
    B
the astronauts
 E/G#              A      B  F#m A
Wake me if you're out there
A                 C#m      B F#m A C#m
Wake me if you're out there

In the dust on my cellar staircase
A pair of footprints followed me
I saw a flicker in the fake fireplace
Blinked again but there was nothing to see

I've been leaving all the windows unlocked
With a basket by the oak tree
'Cause I'll be picking up the acorns that fall off
If you'll be climbing up to meet me

Chorus

C#m                         B
I keep my knees black and blue
                            A
Because they often hit the hard wood floor
  B                         C#m
(Wake me if you're out there)
                      B
And I believe so I'm not praying to the ceiling
A      B
anymore

I've been sleeping with the night light unplugged
With a note on the rocking chair
That says, "I'm dreaming of the life I once loved
So wake me if you're out there."

Chorus

The indications reveal
(Wake me if you're out there)
That few of us realize life is quite surreal
So if you're dying to see
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity

So if you're dying to see
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity
