Em                         G    A     Em                      G     A
Give me light when the sun goes down, cause what goes around, comes around. 
Em                           G         A
Give em' the fight, Yes it's pound for pound. 
Em                        G     A
You see what goes around, comes around.

Now that that the gloves are off and the talk is done.

I see clearly now what must be done, 
Em                              G        A
Go back to the place, back when you were young. 
Em                                          G         A
You weren't afraid of anything, you weren't afraid of anyone

Wake Up!

And and then another worry comes along.
               G              A         Em
I've found the light and I've turned it on.

[Verse2]

Em                           G    A
All of my teachers told me I was wrong, 
               Em          G             A
but what don't kill you, makes you strong. 
Em                          G           A  
But what I found inside was right all along, 
                Em           G              A
and if it don't kill you, it make you strong.

Em                      G         A
Yes I realize just what I've become, 
               Em                   G      A
I'll take that shit head on or however it comes. 
       Em                        G          A
Got my direction back and all my friends around. 
            Em            G                 A
I feel the change, I feel alive, I feel the lights, 

I feel the sound, I wake up. 




[Chorus]

Em
Wake Up!
      G           A         Em
A new morning and I wake up strong, 
             G             A     Em 
And and then another worry comes along.
               G              A         Em
I've found the light and I've turned it on. 
   G        A        Em
so Wake up, wake up, wake up
       G                A       Em
If you feeling like you don't belong, 
             G           A         Em
it's time to step into a brand new dawn. 
                 G         A                Em
You've found the light, so come and turn it on.
   G        A        Em
so Wake up, wake up, wake up

Bridge
(its all a low E chord, match the syncopation its real easy)

E 
0 its Hard to live, when your cup is half full, 

hard to live, now don't ya be somebodys fool, 

hard to live, yes it's hard to live, yes it's hard to live, 

so very hard to live, that's how we live and learn, 
don't make it hard to live, Hard to live, live and learn, Hard to live, 

live and learn, you have to rise to shine so wake.
