F#
They were tearing down a desert highway
                                        C#
Like a bullet through the still of the heat
F#
He was pointing at the constellations
                                    C#
She was sleeping in the passenger seat

A#m
You said, "we're finally gonna get out
G#                          C#/F F#
I think we're finally gonna get out, yeah
          F#
Oh I can feel it

Chorus:
                   C#
I'm finally waking up
                   A#m        F#
I'm finally waking up, I know
                   C#
I'm finally waking up (I'm waking, I'm waking)
                   A#m       F#
I'm finally waking up, I know
(I'm waking, I'm waking)

We were caught up in an endless circle
Always looking for a place we could dream
We were swimming in the deepest ocean
Wondering why we couldn't find any beach

I think we're finally gonna get out
I think we're finally gonna get out, yeah
Oh, I can feel it

Chorus

         A#m  G#     C#       F#
In the black night, melting away
        A#m G#  C#            F#
As the red sun rolls in its place
        A#m   G#          C#             F#
She sat up stretched and reached for the edge
        A#m G#
of the sky
     F#                       C# F#
Then opened her eyes and woke up

                   C#         F#
I'm finally waking up, I know
                   C# F#
I'm finally waking up
       G# F#
Waking up
Wake up

Chorus
