 G#m F# Jesus, Jesus help me E C#m I'm alone in this world B F# And a fucked-up world it is too Tell me, tell me the story The one about eternity And the way it's all gonna be Chorus: G#m F# C# Wake up, wake up dead man G#m F# C# Wake up, wake up dead man Jesus, I'm waiting here, boss I know you're looking out for us But maybe your hands aren't free Your Father, He made the world in seven He's in charge of heaven Will you put a word in for me? Chorus G#m Listen to the words they'll tell you what to do F# Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you E C#m Listen to the reed in the saxophone B F# Listen over the hum of the radio G#m Listen over the sound of blades in rotation F# Listen through the traffic and circulation E C#m Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme B F# Listen over marching bands playing out their time Chorus G#m F# Jesus, were you just around the corner? E C#m Did you think to try and warn her? B F# Were you working on something new? G#m F# If there's an order in all of this disorder E C#m Is it like a tape recorder? B F# Can we rewind it just once more?
