[Verse 1]
G
I spent the last six years like Hoffman in a swimming pool
G
And I've been lost at sea inside a house off Driftwood Avenue
G
And I, I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me, oh
Em
The clock is ticking faster now
D
And I'm too old to be growing up
[Verse 2]
G
Goodbye the heartache, that's the only southern part of me
G
I pack some boxes in the basement and move down the street
G
And I, I'll leave the pirate ships to kids who don't know anything, oh
Em D
I'll be every bit the person we both already know I'll be
[Chorus]
G Em
Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man
C G
Wake up, wake up
G Em
Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man
C G
Wake up, wake up
Em C
Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan
G
It's time to be a man
[Refrain]
G
Don't close your eyes
G
Don't say goodnight
Em D
Don't take your life
Wake up, wake up
[Verse 3]
G
I had another nightmare, baby won't you comfort me
G
And I've been lost at sea inside a house off Beachwood Avenue
G
And I, I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me, oh
Em
The clock is ticking faster now
D
The clock is ticking faster now
[Chorus]
G Em
Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man
C G
Wake up, wake up (Don't close your eyes, don't say goodnight)
Em C
Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man (Don't disappear, don't not be here)
G
Wake up, wake up
Em C
Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan
G
It's time to be a man
[Refrain]
G
Don't close your eyes
G
Don't say goodnight
Em D
Don't disappear, don't not be here
C
Wake up, wake up (Wake up, wake up)
Em D
(Wake up, wake up) Wake up, wake up
C
(Wake up, wake up) Wake up, wake up
Em D
(Wake up, wake up) Wake up, wake up
[Chorus]
G
Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man (Don't close your eyes)
Em G
Wake up, wake up (Don't say goodnight)
G Em
Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man (Don't disappear)
C G
Wake up, wake up
Em C
Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan
Em C
I'll be every bit the person we both already know I can
It's time to be a man
[Verse 4]
C Em D
I used to see all of the world in positivity (Don't close your eyes, don't disappear)
C Em D
And I've been lost at sea inside a house off Driftwood Avenue (Don't say goodnight, don't not be here)
C Em D
And I, I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me, oh (Don't take your life, don't not be here)
C
The clock is ticking faster now (Wake up, wake up)
Em D G
The clock is ticking faster now
