Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  saw a man  on the side  of the road
 with a sign that read
'will  work for food'.
Tried  to look busy,
 
 'til the light turned green...
I  saw a bear  on TV
 and his friends  were all drowning
 cause their  homes were turning  to water...
A  strange, kinda sad,  big old bear
surely  would happily eat  me
 he'd tear  me to pieces  that bear...
Wake  up, sleepy head.
 I think the suns  a little brighter  today
Smile  and watch the icicles  melt away  and see the water  rising...
Summers  here to stay,  and all those summer  games will last  forever
Go  down to the shore,  kick off your shoes,  dive in the empty  ocean.
Tell  me everything  will be  OK if  I just stay  on my knees  and keep praying
 believing in something...
Tell  me everything  is all  taken care of  by those  qualified  to take care  of
 it all.
Wake  up, sleepy head
 I think the suns  a little brighter  today
Smile  and watch the icicles  melt away  and see the waters  rising...
Summers  here to stay,  and that sweet summer  breeze will blow  forever
Go  down to the shore,  kick off your shoes,  dive in the empty  ocean.
One  day, do you think we'll wake  up in a world  on it's way  to getting
 better? and if so  can you tell me...  how?
 x2
I  have been thinking  that lately  the blood  is increasing
 
 the tourniquets not keeping hold in spite of our twisting
though  we would like  to believe  we are
 we are not  in control
 though we would love to believe
Wake  up, sleepy head
 I think the suns  a little brighter  today
Smile  and watch the icicles  melt away  and see the water  rising...
Summers  here to stay,  and those sweet summer  girls will dance  forever
Go  down to the shore,  kick off your shoes,  dive in the empty  ocean.
