And we've been wastin' most our time
 G                             Am
Just talkin' 'bout a face and that's no sign
 Am            C

It is more than only an exercise

What has happened to Paradise?
       G                            Am
Is it turnin' to a world of sorrow and lies?
Am                         C
So many people don't care about rules
 G                     Am
Honest people seem to be the fools
 Am                     C
Time to wise up, time to rise up

Open your eyes up to the times
  Am                C
Oh, the dreamer gets to live

Just close your eyes and let it in
