Key: G
[Verse 1]
[G] I spent the last six years like Hoffman in a swimming pool
And I've[G] been lost at sea inside a house off Driftwood Avenue
And I[G], I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me, oh
[Em] The clock is ticking faster now
And I'm too old to be [D]growing up
[Verse 2]
[G] Goodbye the heartache, that's the only southern part of me
[G] I pack some boxes in the basement and move down the street
And I[G], I'll leave the pirate ships to kids who don't know anything, oh
[Em] I'll be every bit the person we both already [D]know I'll be
[Chorus]
Wake u[G]p, wake up, it's time to be a man[Em]
Wake u[C]p, wake up[G]
Wake u[G]p, wake up, it's time to be a man[Em]
Wake u[C]p, wake up[G]
[Em]Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan[C]
It's time to be a man[G]
[Refrain]
Don't close your ey[G]es
Don't say goodn[G]ight
Don't take your l[Em]ife[D]
Wake up, wake up
[Verse 3]
[G] I had another nightmare, baby won't you comfort me
And I've[G] been lost at sea inside a house off Beachwood Avenue
And I[G], I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me, oh
[Em] The clock is ticking faster now
[D] The clock is ticking faster now
[Chorus]
Wake u[G]p, wake up, it's time to be a man[Em]
Wake u[C]p, wake up[G] (Don't close your eyes, don't say goodnight)
Wake u[Em]p, wake up, it's time to be a man[C] (Don't disappear, don't not be here)
Wake u[G]p, wake up
[Em]Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan[C]
It's time to be a man[G]
[Refrain]
Don't close your ey[G]es
Don't say goodn[G]ight
Don't disappear[Em], don't not be h[D]ere
Wake up, wake u[C]p (Wake up, wake up)

[Em]Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan[C]
[Em] I'll be every bit the person we both already [C]know I can
It's time to be a man
[Verse 3]
[C] I used to see all of the w[Em]orld in posit[D]ivity (Don't close your eyes, don't disappear)
And I've[C] been lost at sea inside a [Em]house off Driftwood [D]Avenue (Don't say goodnight, don't not be here)
And I[C], I made a mess out of the l[Em]ife that lay a[D]head of me, oh (Don't take your life, don't not be here)
[C] The clock is ticking faster now (Wake up, wake up)
[Em] The clock is ticking [D]faster now [G]
