[Intro] Am  G  Am  G

 Am            G
Jesus, Jesus help me
      Dm             Am
I'm alone in this world
         C                   G
And a fucked up world it is too
  Am                   G
Tell me, tell me the story
     Dm           Am
The one about eternity
         C                  G
And the way it's all gonna be

Am                G    D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am                G    D
Wake up, wake up dead man

 Am                 G
Jesus, I'm waiting here boss
    Dm                        Am
I know you're looking out for us
      C                       G
But maybe your hands aren't free
       Am                          G
Your Father, He made the world in seven
          Dm         Am
He's in charge of heaven
          C                 G
Will you put a word in for me

Am                G    D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am                G    D
Wake up, wake up dead man

  C                                            G
Listen to your words they'll tell you what to do
  C                                      G
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
  C                            G
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
  C                           G
Listen over the hum of the radio
  C                                     G
Listen over the sounds of blades in rotation
  C                                    G
Listen through the traffic and circulation
  C                                G
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
  C                                           G
Listen over marching bands playing out their time

Am                G    D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am                G    D
Wake up, wake up dead man

 Am                                G
Jesus, were you just around the corner?
          Dm                   Am
Did you think to try and warn her?
        C                        G
Or are you working on something new?
               Am                    G
If there's an order in all of this disorder
       Dm           Am
Is it like a tape recorder?
          C                  G
Can we rewind it just once more?

Am                G    D
Wake up, wake up dead man
Am                G    D
Wake up, wake up dead man
