[Verse 1]
D
She woke me up with a bang, bang Looking' over cross eyed had a big
Asus4
Hunch that the world was a big lie
D
When I got up all the blood to my head
Asus4
I got so dizzy fell back into my bed
D
I went over to the way side Looking for the high tide
Asus4
What will I find will I find will I find
D
All I saw was a man that had a hat
Asus4
That had a pom-pom he's been there for
Years can someone tell me how long
[Chorus]
D Asus4
Wake up to tell me

D Asus4
Wake up to show me what I could not find
[Verse 2]
D
You see this woman woke me up at a quarter to three
Asus4
And I didn't know it then But she put a spell on me
D
Said I had to go down to where the cliffs meet the sea
Asus4
And meet an old man to present my plea
D
So I headed way down to the big pier (big pier)
Asus4
To await and confront my big fear (big fear)
D
I wheeled around behind to my blindside
Asus4
To find an old man with a lime and a kind eye
D
Said mister, mister with your beard so long
Asus4
Won't you be a saint and tell me Just where I'm going
D
He pointed to a conk shell and then to the lime
Asus4
And said this is all I really need to get by
[Chorus]
D Asus4
Wake up to tell me
D Asus4
Wake up to show me what I could not find
D Asus4
Wake up to tell me
D Asus4
Wake up to show me what I could not find

I got booked last night, I need another fix, dig
D
Yeah, just then I see a twinkle twinkle
Asus4
In the old man's eye and a wave Tossed bottle is thrown to the sky
D
I caught it on the rebound
It landed with a soft sound
Asus4
I took out the message and put the bottle down
D
Inside was the antidote to the spell
Asus4
And I read it to the man 'cause he couldn't read so well
D
Said don't worry bout a thing you know you path is true
Asus4
Just ease your mind have a banana or two
D
Well goodness, goodness, woe is me
Asus4
The man nearly flipped to learn that he was free
D
But just before we Left and started kicking it (kicking it)
Asus4
I picked up the bottle and star sixed it
D
Kick kick shuffle shuffle back to the beach
Asus4
With a tune on my lips and my quest in reach
D
If that woman comes to you with her song so sweet
Asus4
Say damn, let the poor sucker sleep
