Intro: Eb – Gm – F – Eb – Gm – F (x2)

Eb              Gm
As lucid as the dream,
              F                Eb
Where you wake behind the wheel.
                        Gm F            Eb
Strange that you should feel pa- ra- lysed.
                            Gm
The dream where you can fly, 
                F               Eb
And you rise above your hometown, 
                        Gm                 Bb
And tell them they can keep their gravity.

                Dm
Are you wide awake?
                C                       Bb
Caught in the crossfire, caught in the crash.
                Dm
Are you wide awake?
              C                 Dm
Born in the crossfire, living the crash.

Eb              Gm
As lucid as the punch,
                F               Eb
You're throwing in slow-motion.
                Gm      F               Eb
A fist you cannot lift, a fight you cannot win.
                        Gm
And would you really die,
F               Eb
If you hit the bottom?
                                 Gm             Bb
If the ground didn't wake you up in the fall-ing dream.

                Dm
Are you wide awake?
                C                       Bb
Caught in the crossfire, caught in the crash.
                Dm
Are you wide awake?
              C                 Dm
Born in the crossfire, living the crash.

        Bb                                      Dm/A
Smashing your way through the looking-glass.
        Bb                      Dm/A        Bb     Dm
Fantasy can still be razor-sharp - for you.
     Bb
For you who wanted everything, 
Dm
You who promised everything.

Instr riff (C C D D D C D – over Dm, C, Gm, A)

          Bb    
Something followed you back,
        Gm
And woke up in the crash.
         Dm                               C
Somehow, followed you out of your domain.
          Bb
Something followed you back,
    Gm
Out through the looking-glass, 
          Dm
Somehow bringing a cloud of the surreal.

                Dm
Are you wide awake?
                C                       Bb
Caught in the crossfire, caught in the crash.
                Dm
Are you wide awake?
              C                 Dm           (continue chorus chords)
Born in the crossfire, living the crash.
