[Intro 1]
[D][Em][G][C][D][Em][G]
[C][Am][Em][G][C][D]
[Em][G][C][Am][D][Bm]
[Em]Awake

[Verse 1]
at the [C]bottom
Of the [Am]bar rels we cry o[Bm]ut
So [Em]ashamed of our [C]tears that
We [D]blame only ourselves
[Bm]That's when they[Em] win
They keep us convinced
[C]To lift up our chins[Am]
These playing fields are [Bm]level
We all have [Em]a chance
With that they dismis[C]s
The fast lanes [D]they row
What it takes,
it depends on who you [Bm]know[C]
[Am]Or where you c[Bm]ame from
Whose daughter are [C]you?
Whose for[Am]tunate son?
[Bm]Will it so[C]
To stick [Am]up our bo[Bm]nes
And piece from [C]the letters
[D]How we settled
the crimes
[C][G][D][Em]

[Verse 2]
Is this an over[Bm]-reaching arm
[C]arm
Or is [G]this compas[D]sion?
[Em]Is this a hand[Bm]out undese[C]rved
Or [D]a just r[Em]eparation?[G]
(a just re[C]para[D]tion)

[Verse 3]
[Em]Away[G][D][Em]
from [C]the towers
High [Am]above the ceiling [Bm]tombs
Tell [Em]themselves
That they've [C]earned this
Like [D]working hard
Or playing by the [Bm]rules
[C]But this is [Am]only [Bm]part true
A dangerous [C]trick
Played on [Am]me and you
[Bm]And so l[C]ike a practica[Am]l joke[Bm]
We put on [C]these bootstraps
[D]So high that they broke
[C][G][D][Em]

[Verse 4]
Is this an over[Bm]-reaching arm
[C]arm
Or is [G]this compas[D]sion?
[Em]Is this a hand[Bm]out unde[C]served
Or [D]a just reparat[Em]ion?

[Verse 5]
And like [Bm]a single domino
[C]That falls while the res[G]t stay ver[D]tical
[Em]Will you fear these empt[Bm]y fair[C]ytales
Or [D]will you believe them?
[Em][Bm]

[Verse 6]
[C]And if fear's a gam[D]e
You better [Em]pray[Bm]
[C]That this sleeping giant[D] never wakes

[Verse 7]
[Em]If we just take a st[Bm]ep back[C]
A bigger pic[D]ture we might view
[Em]Perhaps the man in the gutter[Bm][C]
Is not so [D]different from [C]you
Come [D]in,

[Verse 8]
all of the [Em]cold
[C]Forget all[D] that you kno[Em]w
Because [C]there's always been [D]room
By the [Em]fire for you, [D]oh[G][C]
Come in, [D]all of the cold

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][G][Em][C]

[Verse 9]
[D]Will you believe [Em]them?
Is this an [Bm]over-reaching arm
[C]arm
Or [G]is this com[D]passion?
[Em]Is this a hand[Bm]out undese[C]rved
Or [D]a just reparation?
[Em]And like a sin[Bm]gle domi[C]no
That falls while the [G]rest [D]stay [Em]vertical
Will you fear these [Bm]empty fairytales
[C]Or wil[D]l you believe the[Em]m?
