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)
