When I wake (C major) up,
I'm back in my crowed (D major) city apart (G major) ment, (C major)

Verse 6
But the sides (D major) of my head (G major) hurt.
I just know that I'm tired (C major) and

I tear a mattress down
(C major) for him and I say,
"Here (D major) Dad. Sleep some on (G major) this."
Verse 7
I wake for (D major) real, and it's (G major) over.
I'm alone (C major) in the (A minor) acres,

(D major) one of those rooftops, (G major)
Verse 8
Look out your (C major) window and
