Falling Awake

C C G Am F Eagle in the dark, feathers in the pages C G Am F Monkeys in my heart are rattling their cages C G Am F Found a way to blue, another ghost to follow C G Am F Said: "it's only up to you, it's the hardest pill to swallow" C G Am F Hmmmmmmmmmmmm C G Am F You never get to choose, you live on what they sent you C G Am F And you know they're gonna use, the things you love against you C G Am F One foot in the grave, one foot in the shower C G Am F There's never time to save, you're paying by the hour C G Am F C And that's just the way it goes, falling awake G Am F And that's just the way it goes C G Am F (2x) C G Am F Slipping through the bars, aware of the danger C G Am F Of riding in the cars, taking candy from strangers C G Am F And you're never out of hand, never out of pocket C G Am F I'm supersonic man, do you wanna buy a rocket? C G Am F C Oh, that's just the way it goes, falling awake G Am F Falling awake C G Am F C And that's just the way it goes, falling awake G Am F Falling awake C G Am F Eagle in the dark, feathers in the pages C G Am F Monkeys in my heart are rattling their cages C G Am F I could learn to play the game, I could learn to run the hustle C G Am F If I only had the brains, the money or the muscle C G Am F (5x)
