J Mascis – Wide Awake
This song is a lot of pretty picking on higher notes, so you may want to mess around with a capo
and transposing the chords below if you want to play just like the record.

C G C G
I’m wide awake, I’m wide awake
Em
C G C G
I’m wide awake, I’m wide awake

Come on over baby,
G D
Time to figure out

Dreaming of the reason

What will bring you round

I’m wide awake, I’m wide awake

I’m wide awake, I’m wide awake

Not sure where to hide
C G C G
I’m wide awake, I’m wide awake
C G C G
I’m wide awake, I’m wide awake
Em C
Come on over baby,
G D
Glancing me a chill
Em C
Walking in your footsteps
G D
Walking by your will
Em C
Twisted in the ancients
G D
Torn apart with lies
Em C
Scoured all the pages
G D
Not enough to find
C D Em
Here at last
C D Em
Sneaking past
C D Em
Came out stuck
C D Em
Set me up
D
Set me up
[Chorus]
