Capo on first fret
There s a man down my street every morning wakes up late
when he wakes up he sees what he s become
slaps his shoes on his feet shuts the door and leaves
working his whole life oh what a life
-chorus-
we believe that heaven s gone to a place we don t belong
in a song that makes us sad in a world that s going mad
we believe in what we want cuz it hurts us to be wrong
if i break before it ends in my heart of hearts
I hope you ll understand
there s a school up my street with some kids i know
as blameless the snow the falling snow
Then a man half insane
shoots up half the school before taking his own
life
oh what a life
(chorus)
(background singers ) ....
3x (wake me up when all the people wanna change) .....
these cops are on the streets there s people breaking into stores
the sky is falling all around us, and there s one place left to go
cuz i believe in something better, something we were born to receive
and i don t care what anyone says cuz i believe
(Chorus)
