Lyrics

1 D D7 G
WAKE ME UP WHEN IT'S OVER
A A7 D A
TELL ME I'VE BEEN DRAMIN YOU'RE GONE
D D7 G
WAKE ME UP DARLIN AND HOLD ME
A A7 D A
THEN I'LL KNOW IT WAS A DREAM ALL ALONG.
D D7 G
I WAS WALKING THROUGH ALL OF MY MEMORIES
A A7 D A
AND WITH EVERY STEP THAT I'D TAKE
D D7 G
YOU WERE WALKING RIGHT THERE BESIDE ME
A A7 D A
SO IN LOVE NO ONE COULD MISTAKE
A D D7 G
AND AS ALL LOVE STORIES EXPLAIN
A A7 D A
I WAS YOURS AND TOOK YOU LAST NAME
D D7 G
AND WE LIVED TOGETHER AS ONE
A A7 D A
SO MUCH LOVE, LAUGHTER, AND FUN.
Chorus:
WAKE ME UP WHEN IT'S OVER ...
(Spoken)
IT WAS YESTERDAY OR WAS IT THE DAY BEFORE
YOU CAME HOME PACKED YOUR BAGS & WERE WALKING OUT THE DOOR
I CRIED AND ASKED YOU WHAT HAVE I DONE
YOU STOPPED AND LOOKED AT ME AND SAID I'VE GOTTA RUN
I LOOKED OUTSIDE & THERE WAS SOMEONE ELSE IN YOUR CAR
IT WAS A YOUNGER WOMAN I DIDN'T KNOW IT'D GOTTEN THIS FAR.
Chorus:
WAKE ME UP WHEN IT'S OVER ... (INSTRAMENTAL)
YOU WOKE ME UP DARLING AND HELD ME
NOW I KNOW IT WAS A DREAM ALL ALONG
YOU WOKE ME UP AND SAID THAT YOU LOVED ME
NOW I KNOW IT WAS A DREAM ALL ALONG
YES I KNOW IT WAS A DREAM ALL ALONG
