C F C F C F G [Verse 1] Am Wake me up, Well it's a new day breaking G It's been a long one let's just face it F You're holding on but the walls are shaking C This could be it, Could be yours for the taking Am We always seem to be living for tomorrow G If you could clear your head and just swallow F Our time here is all just borrowed C So let me see [Pre-Chorus 1] Am Just take a deep breath and count to three G All that matter is what steps are willingly C What's your next play, What should you say F 'Cause I don't know quite honestly Am Just take a deep breath and count to three G All that matter is what steps are willing to be F What's your next play, What should you say, 'Cause I don't know quite honestly [Chorus] C F But there comes a time when the truth gets in the way Am G F And you face the awful ugliness at bay C F And you tell yourself, Hey self it's not ok G Em F Yeah there comes a time when the truth gets in the way [Verse 2] Am Let's face facts, yeah you're barely alive G Come to think of it you're practically dead inside F It's no suprise you don't fear it C So as long as you can hear it's calling out Am I'll tell you what I don't know what's worse G Drowning out here or dying thirst F Take a deep breath, Count it, 1 2 3, Take a look around and walls are all I see G Wake me up, Well it's a new day breaking G It's been a long one let's just face it G Hold on 'cause the walls are shaking G This could be it, Could be yours for the taking [Chorus] C F But there comes a time when the truth gets in the way Am G F And you face the awful ugliness at bay C F And you tell yourself, Hey self it's not ok G Em F Yeah there comes a time when the truth gets in the way [Bridge] G Em F Yeah there comes a time when the truth gets in the way [Solo] Dm G C Am Dm G F F [Outro] C F But there comes a time when the truth gets in the way Am G F And you face the awful ugliness at bay C F And you tell yourself, Hey self it's not ok G Em F Yeah there comes a time when the truth gets in the way G F There comes a time when the truth gets in G F There comes a time when the truth gets in G F C There comes a time when the truth gets in the way
