Verse 1

If you twist and turn away  
If you tear yourself in two again  
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would 
let it go   
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D (Asus4)
surren - der dislocate

Interlude

Verse 2

If I could throw this lifeless
life - line to the wind Leave this
heart of clay, see you walk, walk away 
Into the night and through the rain
Into the half-light and through the flame

Verse 3

If I could through myself
set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away
see you break, break away 
Into the li - ight 
and to the day   
hoo hoo, hoo hoo, hoo hoo
hoo hoo, hoo hoo, hoo hoo

Bridge

To let it go and so to fade away
To let it go and so to fade away

Chorus

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
wide awa - ake, I'm not slee - ping  
oh, no, no, no  

Verse 4

If you should ask then maybe
they'd tell you what I would say
true colors fly in blue and black
bruised silken sky and burning flag
Colours crash, collide in blood shot eyes 
hoo hoo, hoo hoo, hoo hoo  
If I could you know I would
If I could I would let it go  

Middle

This desperation,   
dislocation,   
separation condemnation, 
revelation, in temptation 
isolation, desolation 

Bridge

Let it go and so fade away
To let it go, oh yeah, and so fade away
To let it go, oh lord, and so to fade away

Chorus

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
wide awa - ake, I'm not slee - ping  
oh, no, no, no
