Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
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)
