Verse: 
Bm         G               D          
Feeling my way through the darkness 
Bm     G            D                 
Guided by a beating heart 
Bm      G              D            A  
I can't tell where the journey will end 
Bm    G             D                 
But I know where to start 
Bm           G       D                
They tell me I'm too young to understand 
Bm           G              D         
They say I'm caught up in a dream 
Bm             G             D       A 
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes 
Bm          G       D                 
Well that's fine by me 
 
Chorus (play twice) 
           Bm      G        D           
So wake me up when it's all over 
         Bm    G       D                
When I'm wiser and I'm older 
         Bm         G         D         
All this time I was finding myself 
    A Bm     G          D                
And I didn't know I was lost

Full Lyrics: 
Feeling my way through the darkness 
Guided by a beating heart 
I can't tell where the journey will end 
But I know where to start 
 
They tell me I'm too young to understand 
They say I'm caught up in a dream 
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes 
Well that's fine by me 
 
2x 
So wake me up when it's all over 
When I'm wiser and I'm older 
All this time I was finding myself 
And I didn't know I was lost 
 
I tried carrying the weight of the world 
But I only have two hands 
Hope I get the chance to travel the world 
But I don't have any plans 
 
Wish that I could stay forever this young 
Not afraid to close my eyes 
Life's a game made for everyone 
And love is the prize 
 
2x 
So wake me up when it's all over 
When I'm wiser and I'm older 
All this time I was finding myself 
And I didn't know I was lost 
 
I didn't know I was lost 
I didn't know I was lost 
 
Feeling my way through the darkness 
Guided by a beating heart 
I can't tell where the journey will end 
But I know where to start
