[Intro]
Em
B A# A# A
[Verse]
EmThere's a mad dog pulling at his chain
A hint of danger in his eye
EmAlarm bells raging round his brain
And the chimney's brokenB inA# theA# skyA
[Chorus]
AWake up, wake up and smell the roses
CClose your eyes and pray this wind don't change
A#There's nothing but screams in the field of dreams
A#Nothing but hope at the end of the road
A#Nothing but gold in the chimney smoke
A#Come on honey itB's rA#eal A#moneAy
[Verse]
EmThis is the room where they make the explosives
EmWhere they put your name on the bomb
EmHere's where they bury the buts and the ifs
And scratch out words like rBightA# andA# wronAg
[Chorus]
AWake up, wake up and smell the phosphorus
CThis is the room we keep a human heir
A#Don't ask don't tell it couldn't be lost for us
A#A Little less cash in the stash in the cupboard
A#At the bottom of the stair
BMonA#ey A#honeAy
[Interlude]

[Verse]
EmJust a line in the captain's log
EmJust a whine from a resident dog
EmAnother kid didn't make the grade
Come on honey it'sB a fA#air A#tradAe
[Chorus]
AWake up, wake up and smell the roses
CThrow a photo on the funeral pyre
A#Now we can forget the threat she poses
A#Girl you know you couldn't get much higher
