C              F            G
Stay out super late tonight picking apples, making pies
C                     F            G
put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us


[Chorus]

             Am         F      G
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
             Am         F      G
we’re half-awake in a fake empire


[Verse 2]

 C                 F          G
Tiptoe through our shiny city with our diamond slippers on
 C            F            G
do our gay ballet on ice bluebirds on our shoulders


[Chorus]

             Am         F      G
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
             Am         F      G
we’re half-awake in a fake empire


[Verse 3]

 C                 F                G
Turn the light out say goodnight no thinking for a little while
 C                 F        G
lets not try to figure out everything at once
 C                 F            G
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky


[Chorus]

             Am         F      G
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
             Am         F      G
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
