[Intro]
Bm   G   D   A
Bm   G   D   A F#
 
[Verse 1]
Bm       G              D         A
Feeling my way through the darkness
Bm       G          D         A
Guided by a beating heart 
Bm       G              D         A
I can't tell where the journey will end 
Bm       G          D         A
But I know where it starts 
Bm       G              D         A
They tell me I'm too young to understand,
Bm       G          D         A
They say I'm caught up in a dream 
Bm       G              D         A
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Bm       G          D         A
Well that's fine by me
 
[Chorus]
            Bm      G       D     A
So wake me up when it's all over 
          Bm    G     D        A
When I'm wiser and I'm older 
        Bm         G           D       A
All this time I was finding myself, And I 
Bm      G     D      A
didn't know I was lost
 
            Bm      G       D     A
So wake me up when it's all over 
          Bm    G     D        A
When I'm wiser and I'm older 
        Bm         G           D       A
All this time I was finding myself, And I 
Bm      G     D      A
didn't know I was lost
 
[Verse 2]
Bm       G              D         A
I tried carrying the weight of the world
Bm       G          D         A
But I only have two hands
Bm       G              D         A
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
Bm       G          D         A
But I don't have any plans
Bm       G              D         A
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Bm       G          D         A
Not afraid to close my eyes
Bm       G              D         A
Life's a game made for everyone
Bm       G          D         A
And love is the prize
 
[Chorus]
            Bm      G       D     A
So wake me up when it's all over 
          Bm    G     D        A
When I'm wiser and I'm older 
        Bm         G           D       A
All this time I was finding myself, And I 
Bm      G     D      A
didn't know I was lost
 
            Bm      G       D     A
So wake me up when it's all over 
          Bm    G     D        A
When I'm wiser and I'm older 
        Bm         G           D       A
All this time I was finding myself, And I 
Bm      G     D      A
didn't know I was lost
 
Bm      G     D      A
didn't know I was lost
Bm      G     D      A
didn't know I was lost
Bm      G     D      A
didn't know I was lost
Bm      G     D      A
didn't know I was lost

It's Bm G D A through out the hole song and not Bm G D D. You can play it with a capo on second fret as well. You play Am F C G.

The riff is somethin like this: e|------------------|--10--------------|-10-10---10--12---|--12--10--12 12b--| B|-12--12--10--12---|-----12---10h12---|------------------|------------------| G|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------| D|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------| A|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------| E|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|

The Riff goes like this (Played pretty fast. Listen to the song) e|----------------10-------------------10--10--10-12-10-12--12s14--10--| B|--12--12--10-12----12---12-10-12-10-----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| If you're playing with the Capo on the second fret, it might be easier to play it like this. Sames notes (I think), just down an octave e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------1--1--1-3-1-3--3s5--1-----------------------| G|--2--2--0-2-5-2--2-0-2-0----------------------------------------------| D|----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------------------| Going by hearing, so it might be BE 100%, but it sounds 100%
