Capo on first fret A E There's a man down my street every morning wakes up late D A E when he wakes up he sees what he's become A E slaps his shoes on his feet shuts the door and leaves D A E working his whole life oh what a life -chorus- D A we believe that heaven's gone to a place we don't belong F#m E in a song that makes us sad in a world that's going mad D A we believe in what we want cuz it hurts us to be wrong F#m if i break before it ends in my heart of hearts E I hope you'll understand A E there's a school up my street with some kids i know D A E as blameless the snow the falling snow A Then a man half insane E shoots up half the school before taking his own D life A E oh what a life (chorus) (background singers A) E.... 3x (wake me up when all the people wanna change) ..... A these cops are on the streets there's people breaking into stores F#m the sky is falling all around us, and there's one place left to go D cuz i believe in something better, something we were born to receive E and i don't care what anyone says cuz i believe (Chorus)
