note*
 
All the versions on this website (ultimate-guitar) sounds very good, but there is some
important details that I think we're missing.
 
1) The C-chord with the low G as the base-note (C/G)
2) The Cmaj9-sounding G chord (yeah, I don't get it either)

        -Intro-
 
 
Am      F      C/G     C/G   G
Am      F      C/G     C/G   Em
 
 
        -Vers1-
 
 
Am         F                C/G       G
Feeling my way through the darkness
 
Am     F              C/G     Em
Guided by a beating heart
 
Am       F              C/G            G
I can't tell where the journey will end
 
Am    F               C/G      Em
But I know where it starts
 
Am           F       C/G               G
They tell me I'm too young to understand
 
Am           F               C/G    Em
They say I'm caught up in a dream
 
Am             F             C/G               G     Am
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
 
            F         C/G
Well that's fine by me
 
 
        -Aloe Blacc Chorus- (2x)
 
 
           Am        F        C/G
So wake me up when it's all over
 
    G     Am    F        C/G
When I'm wiser and I'm older
 
Em         Am         F         C/G
All this time I was finding myself
 
    G Am     F          C/G      Em
And I didn't know I was lost
 
 
        -Avicii Chorus-
 
Am      F       C/G     C/G   G
Am      F       C/G     C/G   Em
 
 
        -Vers2-
 
 
Am       F            C/G              G
I tried carrying the weight of the world
 
Am     F             C/G     Em
But I only have two hands
 
Am        F                 C/G            G
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
 
Am          F           C/G    Em
And I don't have any plans
 
Am          F             C/G             G
I wish that I could stay forever this young
 
Am     F                C/G    Em
Not afraid to close my eyes
 
Am        F            C/G      G
Life's a game made for everyone
 
Am  F          C/G
And love is a prize
 
 
        -Aloe Blacc Chorus2- (2x)
 
 
           Am        F        C/G
So wake me up when it's all over
 
    G     Am    F        C/G
When I'm wiser and I'm older
 
Em         Am         F         C/G
All this time I was finding myself
 
    G Am     F          C/G      Em
And I didn't know I was lost
 
 
        -Aloe Blacc Bridge-
 
 
Am         F         C/G     G
I didn't know I was lost
 
Am         F         C/G     Em
I didn't know I was lost
 
Am         F         C/G     G
I didn't know I was lost
 
Am         F         C/G     Em
I didn't know I was lost
 
 
        -Avicii Chorus-
 
Am      F       C/G     C/G   G
Am      F       C/G     C/G   Em
