Get Up - Nik Kershaw
Intro: Am, Am, Dm, Em x 4
Am Dm Em
It's dark in there and you're quite unaware
Am Dm Em
That the cracks on the ceiling are mocking you
Am Dm Em F
You're airless bag, you're dust in a shaft of light
G G7
And you think you might
E Am C F
Yeah you might stay there all day
Heh heh
Dm C G
Get up - get on your feet
Dm C G
Get up - don't go back to sleep
Dm C G
Get up - life is bitter sweet
F C G
And it's all going on without you
Am Dm Em
You're safe in there, no sharks anywhere
Am Dm Em
Not a soul to get you doing what you don't want
Am Dm Em F G
Go on pretend it's Sunday again, it's Sunday again
Am Dm Em
It's so warm in there, feels like camembert
Am Dm Em
All the things you'd do if only you had the energy
Am Dm Em F
You bargain for just ten minutes more of this
G G7
When a prince's kiss
E Am C F
Turns you into a swan
Dream on
Dm C G
Get up - get on your feet
Dm C G
Get up - don't go back to sleep
Dm C G
Get up - life is bitter sweet
F C G
And it's all going on without you
F C G
Yeah it's all kicking off without you
