This song is done in standard tuning but is played with a Harmonic E chord with your fingers moving a lot. I will refer to these chords in different ways to help understand which ones are which. The names I have given these chords are not the real terms. I do not know what they really are. They are in the same progression through the whole song. Also, this song can be heard at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP-Tx04DcSs Listen to get the timing and strum pattern

hE hE7 hEm hEm7
Haven't talked to you in awhile
hE hE7 hEm hEm7
I've been busy, flying low
hE hE7 hEm hEm7
The gifts above my head make me smile
hE hE7 hEm hEm7
Nah, but then they grow
hE hE7
Just stop me if you've heard this one
hEm hEm7
I was down on my luck
hE hE7 hEm hEm7
Plenty of drinks say I was lots of fun
hE hE7
Just watch me from the distance
hEm hEm7 hE hE7 hEm hEm7
Don't you get too close
hE hE7 hEm hEm7 hE hE7 hEm hEm7
Cause you can climb this wall
hE hE7 hEm hEm7 hE hE7 hEm hEm7
No, you can climb this wall
Chorus
hE hE7
Shake me, wake me up I've got to
hEm hEm7
Get up, Get up can't sleep all day
hE hE7 hEm hEm7
I'm sorry it took so long to tell you
hE hE7
doo-doot doo-doot doo-doo
hEm hEm7
doo-doot doo-doot doo-doot-doot-doo
Well maybe that didn't come out right
I told my mama
I call you every day and tell you
Just one thing
That lately I've been flying high
Cause I found arms that hold me tight
And I still watch the children
from the corner of my eye
Not gonna sit around and cry
I feel like baby I know why I see the
Beauty of the sky open up my eyes
And I said
Chorus, Instrumental, Chorus
