Falling Awake Tab par Gary Jules

Intro: C F Am F

C            G
Eagle in the dark
Am              F
Feathers in the pages
C             G
Monkeys in my heart
Am                 F
Are rattling their cages.

C            G
Found a way to blue
Am              F
And another ghost to follow
C             G
Said “it’s only up to you”
Am                 F
It’s the hardest pill to swallow.

( C   G   Am   F )
hmmmmmmmm…hmmmmmmm
C               G
You never get to choose
Am                   F
You live on what they sent you
C                    G
And you know they’re gonna use
Am                   F
The things you love against you

C               G
One foot in the grave
Am                   F
One foot in the shower
C               G
There’s never time to save
Am                   F
You’re paying by the hour

C          G               Am
And that’s just the way it goes
F         C
Falling awake
C          G               Am
And that’s just the way it goes

F

musical interlude: just play the chords (C G Am F)

C                  G
Slipping through the bars
Am              F
Aware of the danger
C               G
Of riding in the cars
Am                   F
Taking candy from strangers

C                      G
And you’re never out of hand
Am              F
Never out of pocket
C               G
I’m supersonic man
Am                   F
Do you wanna buy a rocket?

C          G               Am
Oh, that’s just the way it goes
F       C               Am
Falling awake...falling awake

F C

Hmmm

C          G               Am
And that’s just the way it goes
F        C             Am
Falling awake...falling awake

F  C

C            G
Eagle in the dark
Am              F
Feathers in the pages
C             G
Monkeys in my heart
Am                 F
Are rattling their cages.

C                     G
I could learn to play the game
Am                 F
I could learn to run the hustle
C                 G
If I only had the brains
Am                 F
The money or the muscle
