[Verse]
C              F            G 
Stay out super late tonight picking apples, making pies 
C                     F            G 
put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
[Chorus]
             Am         F      G 
we’re half-awake in a fake empire 
             Am         F      G 
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
[Verse]
 C                 F          G 
Tiptoe through our shiny city with our diamond slippers on 
 C            F            G 
do our gay ballet on ice bluebirds on our shoulders
[Chorus]
             Am         F      G 
we’re half-awake in a fake empire 
             Am         F      G 
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
[Verse]
 C                 F                G 
Turn the light out say goodnight no thinking for a little while 
 C                 F        G 
lets not try to figure out everything at once 
 C                 F            G 
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
[Chorus]
             Am         F      G 
we’re half-awake in a fake empire 
             Am         F      G 
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
