B
Wake up and break this

Better days are
A
on the way, 'cause
G
You know and I know,
A
it can't get no
B
worse
Sometimes a dream seems so real, comes to me over and over again
Last night I swear I saw America sleepin' in the streets
When does this nightmare end?
I got to find my baby
Baby, I find salvation in her kiss
Tell me I'm dreaming , it's got to be better than this
I want somebody to say
