When You Awake

E     F#m    B7 A/C# E
Ollie told me I'm a fool
  A                    Bm
So I walked on down the road a mile
A/C#                  D
Went to the house that brings a smile
F#         Bm
Sat upon my grandpa's knee
E                            D   G
And what do you think he said to me?


C                       Am     C/G    F
When you awake you will remember ev'rything
            D7      C    G
You will be hangin' on a string from your
C
When you believe
    C/B   Am         C/G  F
You will relieve the only soul
F             D7       C       G              C   B
That you were born with to grow old and never know

Ollie showed me the fork in the road
A                             Bm
You can take to the left or go straight to the right
A/C#              D
Use your days and save your nights
F#              Bm                  E
Be careful where you step, and watch wha-cha eat
               D               G
Sleep with the light on and you got it beat


C                       Am     C/G    F
When you awake you will remember ev'rything

Ollie warned me it's a mean old world
A                             Bm
The street don't greet ya, yes, it's true
    A/C#          D
But what am I supposed to do
F#          Bm
Read the writing on the wall
E                     D   G
I heard it when I was very small

C                       Am     C/G    F

I'd stand on the rock where Moses stood
