Intro: A C#m E (3x, first time just synth, band comes in 2nd time)
Verse 1:
A2Oh, when we were born, when we first arrived
C#m2We took it all in through E2innocent eyes
A2But we got jaded 'cause the beauty faded
C#m2So now we fake it in worldsE2 built in the sky A
C#m No Chord
But we keep coming up dry
Chorus:
E5I'm waking up to what's around me
A5I've lost too much to a fantasy
E5I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by A5
Just getting by F#m
Am I just getting by A C#m2 E2
Verse 2:
A2Life can take a toll, everyday demands
C#m2So much energy, so many E2mundane plans
A2So we go digital, purely physical
C#m2Hey, it's just medicinal
No Chord
We need to ease our minds
Chorus:
E5I'm waking up to what's around me
A5I've lost too much to a fantasy
E5I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by A5
Just getting by F#m
Am I just getting by
Bridge:
C#mI want to bAe all here now
EWherever I am,B that's where I'll be found
C#mStaying present even in tAhe fear now
ELife with open eByes
Please don't pass me bC#my
Life, don't pass me by A
Life, don't pass me by E
Feel a spark when we looBk each other in the eye

A5I've lost too much to a fantasy
E5I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by A5
Just getting by F#m
Am I just getting by A C#m2 E2
A2 C#m2 (E)
I don't want to just get by
That's it! The only part I'm unsure of is the grace? where the hammer-on is in the riff.
Other than that, it's all correct! 5 stars? And check out my other tabs! How Great is
Our God ver 2 and Awake My Soul ver 1, both by Chris Tomlin. God bless!
