Bm7/D             1
Wake up, say a little prayer
  Em              2
Out of bed to the bathroom where
  3                          Bm7/D
I take a look at myself and I stop and stare
    1                  Em
And I wonder who is this standing here

Bm                     F#        E
And I try to find the will to carry on
  Bm               F#             E
Wonder how much longer I can carry on
  A                    Bm       G          A
Cause these days they take so long, yes they do

 D    G          
Hey, how are you true?
       F#                  Bm       A
The light will guide you home, yes it will
 D    G           
Hey, how are you true?
              F#                        Bm                  
Well there's one thing that you should know
      A
Yes you should
          Bm             A             E
You need love, you need love, you need love
         Bm          A           E
You need la la la la la la la la love

Bm                          F#
All your days spend countin' numbers
         E
'Til one day you'll find, day you'll find
       F#              Bm
That life has passed you by
Bm                                          E
And in the quiet still of silence try to hide your eyes
F#             Bm       A
Oh no so don't cry, oh no

 D     G
Hey, how are you true?
      F#                   Bm         A
The light will guide you home, yes it will
D                             G
Oh the years, they turn so fast
                         F#                              Bm
Soon the present will be past and you'll look back and laugh
        A
Yes you will

 Bm                F#       G                  F#
Well I can still remember, yes I was a young man too
 Bm               F#            G               F#
Alone, but not forgotten and the candle shining through
 Bm                         F#                G            F#
Still all these words I've spoken don't mean anything at all
        Bm             A           E
Without love, without love, without love
        Bm           A          E
Without la la la la la la la la love

D    G   F#   Bm      A        
Do, do, do, do, oh yeah
D    G   F#   Bm       A
Do, do, do, do, oh yeah

    Bm          F#          G                 F#
I remember clearly we were both there on the airplane
 Bm               F#           G              F#
Told me all your secrets, oh I never saw it coming
    Bm                    F#
I thought that you were joking
            G             F#
