Sleeping At Last - Nine Ukulele

[Verse 1]
N.C.
Who am I to say what any of this means
Dm          Am
I have been sleepwalking
Gm              C
Since I was fourteen
    F             C
Now as I write my song
F            A#
I retrace my steps
Dm             Am
Honestly, it’s easier
   Gm            C
To let myself forget
         F              C
Still, I check my vital signs
       F         A#
Choked up, I realize
Dm                  Am
I’ve been less than half myself
    Gm                C
For more than half my life
 
 
[Chorus]
     Gm      C
Wake up
        F      A#
Fall in love again
     Gm         C
Wage war on gravity
                      F                   A#
There’s so much worth fighting for you’ll see
        Gm  F  C
Another domino falls
       F
Either way
 
 
[Verse 2]
   F               C
It looks like empathy
   F              A#
To understand all sides
    Dm                 Am
But I’m just trying to find myself
        Gm             C
Through someone else’s eyes
   F               C
So show me what to do
     F                   A#
To restart this heart of mine
Dm          Am
How do I forgive myself
    Gm             C
For losing so much time?
 
 
[Chorus]
     Gm      C
Wake up
             F      A#
Roll up your sleeves
                  Gm             C
There’s a chain reaction in your heart
          F
Muscle memory
                    A#
Remembering who you are
      Gm    C
Stand up
            F                         A#
And fall in love again and again and again
     Gm          C
Wage war on gravity
                       F                   A#
There’s so much worth fighting for, you’ll see
        Gm  F  C
Another domino falls
            F   C  Gm
And another domino falls
 
 
[Verse 3]
  F           C
A little at a time
F            A#
I feel more alive
          Dm                 Am
I let the scale tip and feel all of it
       Gm              C
It’s uncomfortable but right
F               C
We were born to try
   F              A#
To see each other through
            Dm                 Am
To know and love ourselves and others well
            Gm            C
Is the most difficult and meaningful
                F
Work we’ll ever do
