Intro: A C#m E (3x, first time just synth, band comes in 2nd time)
Verse 1:
A2
Oh, when we were born, when we first arrived
C#m2 E2
We took it all in through innocent eyes
A2
But we got jaded 'cause the beauty faded
C#m2 E2 A
So now we fake it in worlds built in the sky
C#m No Chord
But we keep coming up dry
Chorus:
E5
I'm waking up to what's around me
A5
I've lost too much to a fantasy
E5 A5
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
F#m
Just getting by
A C#m2 E2
Am I just getting by
Verse 2:
A2
Life can take a toll, everyday demands
C#m2 E2
So much energy, so many mundane plans
A2
So we go digital, purely physical
C#m2
Hey, it's just medicinal
No Chord
We need to ease our minds
Chorus:
E5
I'm waking up to what's around me
A5
I've lost too much to a fantasy
E5 A5
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
F#m
Just getting by
Am I just getting by
Bridge:
C#m A(5)
I want to be all here now
E(5) B
Wherever I am, that's where I'll be found
C#m A(5)
Staying present even in the fear now
E(5) B
Life with open eyes
C#m
Please don't pass me by
A(5)
Life, don't pass me by
E(5)
Life, don't pass me by
B
Feel a spark when we look each other in the eye
Interlude: (2x)
