Falling Awake

C

[Verse 1]
C              G    Am          
  Eagle in the dark,  feathers 
      F
in the pages
C               G    Am         
  Monkeys in my heart  are 
          F
rattling their cages
C                G    Am        
  Found a way to blue,  another 
         F
ghost to follow
C                        G   Am 
  Said: "it's only up to you,  
                        F
it's the hardest pill to swallow"
C     G    Am    F
  Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
C                  G      Am    
  You never get to choose,  you 
                  F
live on what they sent you
C                            G   
  And you know they're gonna use,
Am                     F
  the things you love against you
C                 G     Am      
  One foot in the grave,  one 
          F
foot in the shower
C                       G    
  There's never time to save,  
Am                     F
you're paying by the hour

[Chorus]
C            G               Am  
  And that's just the way it 
 F         C
goes, falling awake
             G               Am   F
  And that's just the way it goes

[Interlude]
C G Am F  (x2)

[Verse 2]
C                      G    Am  
  Slipping through the bars,  
           F
aware of the danger
C                  G    Am      
  Of riding in the cars,  taking
            F
 candy from strangers
C                         G    
  And you're never out of hand,
Am             F
  never out of pocket
C                G   Am         
  I'm supersonic man,  do you 
          F
wanna buy a rocket?

[Chorus]
C            G               Am  
  Oh, that's just the way it 
 F         C
goes, falling awake
G          Am F
  Falling awake
C            G               Am 
  And that's just the way it 
F           C
goes, falling awake
           G    Am F
  Falling awake

[Verse 3]
C              G    Am          
  Eagle in the dark,  feathers 
      F
in the pages
C               G    Am         
  Monkeys in my heart  are 
          F
rattling their cages
C                           G    
  I could learn to play the game,
Am                         F
  I could learn to run the hustle
C                   G      Am   
  If I only had the brains,  the
              F
 money or the muscle
