Intro
I was scared to death, Afraid to close my eyes
And found that I was gone. Like every other one
Who left before the dawn, I vanished in the air.
Am I still there?
Wake me gently If you can
"Wake me gently Just touch my hand
Wake me gently Pull my sleeve
'Cuz where I'm at is where I wanna leave.
And in my sleep, I look so lifeless on this bed
Laid out on satin sheets. This dream's a novel
That I don't dare complete, No happy endings read.
I think the hero's dead.
Wake me gently If you can
"Wake me gently Just touch my hand

Wake me gently Pull my sleeve
'Cuz where I'm at is where I wanna leave me to my slumber
And I'll never come home. Please help me, I'm frightened
Of what's going on (What's going on)
Piano
Solo
And if I can't wake up, Will I be all alone
A stranded orphan here. Or will I bump into
Some other wandering soul, And will they talk to me.
Somebody, somebody please rescue me.
Wake me gently If you can
"Wake me gently Just touch my hand
Wake me gently Pull my sleeve
'Cuz where I'm at is where I wanna leave.
Repeat these two chords for the outro:
Ab5 - [x 4 6 6 x x]
Gb5 - [x 9 11 11 x x]
Piano
I wanna leave
I wanna leave
I wanna wake up
I wanna leave
I don't wanna stay
I wanna leave
I wanna go
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Just wake me up
I wanna go home
Wake me up please
'Cuz I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Wake me
Wake me
