[Verse 1]
Am G
Jesus, Jesus help me
F Dm
I'm alone in this world
C G
And a fucked-up world it is too
Am G
Tell me, tell me the story
F Dm
The one about eternity
C G
And the way it's all gonna be
[Chorus]
Am G D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am G D
Wake up, wake up dead man
[Verse 2]
Am G
Jesus, I'm waiting here, boss
F Dm
I know you're looking out for us
C G
But maybe your hands aren't free
Am G
Your Father, He made the world in seven
F Dm
He's in charge of heaven
C G
Will you put a word in for me?
[Chorus]
Am G D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am G D
Wake up, wake up dead man
[Verse 3]
Am
Listen to the words they'll tell you what to do
G
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
F Dm
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
C G
Listen over the hum of the radio
Am
Listen over the sound of blades in rotation
G
Listen through the traffic and circulation
F Dm
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
C G
Listen over marching bands playing out their time
[Chorus]
Am G D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am G D
Wake up, wake up dead man
[Verse 4]
Am G
Jesus, were you just around the corner?
F Dm
Did you think to try and warn her?
C G
Were you working on something new?
Am G
If there's an order in all of this disorder
F Dm
Is it like a tape recorder?
C G
Can we rewind it just once more?
[Chorus]
Am G D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am G D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am G D
Wake up, wake up dead man
[Outro]
Am G D x4
Am
