Verse 1: G When the city sleeps, I'm awake Am Caught up in the dreams I can't create G When the city sleeps, I'm awake Am Locked up in my mind, I can't escape G There's nothing I can do but wait Em I call you crying 'cause it's too much pain G I can tell you don't get it A 'Cause you tell me that everything will be okay
