Intro
Verse
I saw a man on the side of the road
with a sign that read
'will work for food'.
Tried to look busy,
[G/f#]
'til the light turned green...
I saw a bear on TV
and his friends were all drowning
cause their homes were turning to water...
A strange, kinda sad, big old bear
surely would happily eat me
he'd tear me to pieces that bear...
Chorus
Wake up, sleepy head.
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising...
Summers here to stay, and all those summer games will last forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.
Verse
Tell me everything will be OK if I just stay on my knees and keep praying
[G/f#]
believing in something...
Tell me everything is all taken care of by those qualified to take care of
[G/f#]
it all.
Chorus
Wake up, sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the waters rising...
Summers here to stay, and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.
Bridge
One day, do you think we'll wake up in a world on it's way to getting
better? and if so can you tell me... how?

Verse
I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing
[G/f#]
the tourniquets not keeping hold in spite of our twisting
though we would like to believe we are
we are not in control
[G/f#]
though we would love to believe
Chorus
Wake up, sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising...
Summers here to stay, and those sweet summer girls will dance forever
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.
