F#m      D     A            E              F#m   D A E
  Get up,  the needle has pricked a little finger
F#m         D     A         E                    F#m       D A E
  She wants   the beautiful child the blood will bring her
D         A  Bm               
  You ask a  question in the mirror
D       A  Bm              E
  Alas, no answer could be clearer


F#m      D       A        E         F#m  D         A   E
  Get up, get up,  you're borrowing time borrowing time
F#m      D       A        E         F#m  D         A   E
  Get up, get up,  you're borrowing time borrowing time


F#m      D  A          E             F#m        D A E
  Get up, a substitute artist just reprieved you
F#m      D     A          E            F#m       D A E
  Beware   for flattering ruses have deceived you
D          A  Bm               
  No kings of yesterday falling
D                 A    Bm        E      
  But you'll come when destiny's calling


F#m      D       A        E         F#m  D         A   E
  Get up, get up,  you're borrowing time borrowing time
F#m      D       A        E         F#m  D         A   E
  Get up, get up,  you're borrowing time borrowing time

F#m            A
  I don't want anything anyway
D                  B7
  I was happy with what I had yesterday
F#m             A                   B7
  Who wants the whole weight of the world
           G        D       F#m
When it'll drag you down underground?

F#m     D       A         E                 F#m  D A E
  Today   she's singing a song called Hallelujah
F#m     D         A            E            F#m   D A E
  You stay, she's bringin' the poison apple to ya
D          A   Bm      
  Sun's up and reveille's playing
D          A    Bm         E
  You know what everyone's saying

F#m      D       A        E         F#m  D         A   E
  Get up, get up,  you're borrowing time borrowing time
F#m      D       A        E         F#m  D         A   E
  Get up, get up,  you're borrowing time borrowing time
F#m      D       A        E         F#m  D         A   E
  Get up, get up,  you're borrowing time borrowing time
F#m      D       A        E         F#m  D              F#m
  Get up, get up,  you're borrowing time borrowing time
