[Intro]

[Estrofa]
C              G    Am                F 
  Eagle in the dark,  feathers in the pages 
C               G    Am                   F 
  Monkeys in my heart  are rattling their cages 
C                G    Am                 F 
  Found a way to blue,  another ghost to follow 
C                        G   Am                         F 
  Said: "it's only up to you,  it's the hardest pill to swallow" 
C     G    Am    F 
  Hmmmmmmmmmmmm 
C                  G      Am                      F 
  You never get to choose,  you live on what they sent you 
C                            G   Am                     F 
  And you know they're gonna use,  the things you love against you 
C                 G     Am                F 
  One foot in the grave,  one foot in the shower 
C                       G    Am                     F 
  There's never time to save,  you're paying by the hour
[Estribillo]
C            G               Am   F         C 
  And that's just the way it goes, falling awake 
             G               Am   F 
  And that's just the way it goes
[Instrumental]
C G Am F  (x2)
[Estrofa]
C                      G    Am             F 
  Slipping through the bars,  aware of the danger 
C                  G    Am                  F 
  Of riding in the cars,  taking candy from strangers 
C                         G    Am             F 
  And you're never out of hand,  never out of pocket 
C                G   Am                   F 
  I'm supersonic man,  do you wanna buy a rocket?
[Estribillo]
C            G               Am   F         C 
  Oh, that's just the way it goes, falling awake 
G          Am F 
  Falling awake 
C            G               Am F           C 
  And that's just the way it goes, falling awake 
           G    Am F 
  Falling awake
[Estrofa]
C              G    Am                F 
  Eagle in the dark,  feathers in the pages 
C               G    Am                   F 
  Monkeys in my heart  are rattling their cages 
C                           G    Am                         F 
  I could learn to play the game,  I could learn to run the hustle 
C                   G      Am                 F 
  If I only had the brains,  the money or the muscle
[Outro]
