Verse 1:
Bm       G              D
Feeling my way through the darkness
Bm       G          D
Guided by a beating heart 
I can't tell where the journey will end 
But I know where it starts 
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

Chorus:
            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, And I 
Bm      G     D
didn't know I was lost

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 
I didn't know I was lost


Verse 2:

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 
I 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

Chorus:
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

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 
I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

How to practise this song

1
Put your capo on fret 2
Clamp the capo on before you start — otherwise the shapes won't sound like the original.
2
Practise the barre chord Bm
Bm is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.
Open
3
Practise the change: Bm ↔ Am
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
