Story Of The Year
Wake Up
The Black Swan
2008 Epitaph Records

Key: E MajorE


Intro: C#m, C#m-A-C#m-B x4


Verse 1:
    C# minorC#m
We are alive for a moment
One second in the
great abyss of time
All the bleeding
all the hate
           C# minorC#m
Just one blink of an eye
    A augmentedA      E MajorE
All the conflicts it visits
   BB       C# minorC#m
dire pain on human life
    A augmentedA    E MajorE
Are we missing what
     BB
it is to be alive?

Refrain 1:
A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
 One by one the pieces fall
              E MajorE
Until our pride defeats us all
           G# minorG#m
We learn to live without it


Chorus 1:
C# minorC#m
Wake up!
A augmentedA   E MajorE
To the sound of
   BB
this time bomb
C# minorC#m
Wake up!
A augmentedA    E MajorE     BB
To it's deafening song
C# minorC#m
Wake up!
   A augmentedA     E MajorE
Cause you don't know what
    BB  C# minorC#m    A augmentedA
you've got until it's gone
 E MajorE
Until it's gone

Interlude: C# minorC#m


Verse 2:
    C# minorC#m    A augmentedA
Our innocence is a virtue
    E MajorE
But our arrogance will
BB       C# minorC#m
only leave us blind
  A augmentedA       E MajorE
Unattended without anyone
  BB       C# minorC#m
to save our idle lives
       A augmentedA
Will we find out
   E MajorE
that everything we
BB       C# minorC#m
know exists inside
   A augmentedA
of a fraction
   BB
Of a fraction


Refrain 2:
A augmentedA
 One by one the
    G# minorG#m
pieces fall again


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Chorus 2:
C# minorC#m
Wake up!
A augmentedA   E MajorE
To the sound of
   BB
this time bomb
C# minorC#m
Wake up!
A augmentedA    E MajorE     BB
To it's deafening song
C# minorC#m
Wake up!
   A augmentedA     E MajorE
Cause you don't know what
    BB  C# minorC#m    A augmentedA
you've got until it's gone
 E MajorE
Until it's gone away
