Intro: A    C#m  E   (3x, first time just synth, band comes in 2nd time)

Verse 1:
A2
Oh, when we were born, when we first arrived
C#m2                      E2
We took it all in through innocent eyes
A2
But we got jaded 'cause the beauty faded
C#m2                       E2                            A
So now we fake it in worlds built in the sky 
         C#m              No Chord  
But we keep coming up dry

Chorus:
E5
I'm waking up to what's around me
A5
I've lost too much to a fantasy
E5                                             A5
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
                  F#m
Just getting by
                        A     C#m2   E2
Am I just getting by

Verse 2:
A2
Life can take a toll, everyday demands
C#m2                    E2
So much energy, so many mundane plans
A2
So we go digital, purely physical
C#m2          
Hey, it's just medicinal
No Chord
We need to ease our minds

Chorus:
E5
I'm waking up to what's around me
A5
I've lost too much to a fantasy
E5                                             A5
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
                  F#m
Just getting by
                       
Am I just getting by

Bridge:
C#m        A 
I want to be all here now
E             B
Wherever I am, that's where I'll be found
C#m                      A
Staying present even in the fear now
E               B
Life with open eyes
                      C#m
Please don't pass me by
                       A
Life, don't pass me by
                       E
Life, don't pass me by
                        B
Feel a spark when we look each other in the eye

Riff: E5                             A5                      (2x)         2nd time only
e|----77---------------77--------------77-----------------------------------12121212----|
B|--------99-7-9-----------99-7-9----------99-7-9-----------5-----555-------(9)-(9)-----|
G|----------------6----------------9---------------6----4h6---6---666--------9-9-9-9----|

E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
                    The 9(9)12 riff is also in the background of the chorus all the way through

Chorus:
E5
I'm waking up to what's around me
A5
I've lost too much to a fantasy
E5                                             A5
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
                  F#m
Just getting by
                        A     C#m2   E2
Am I just getting by
                              A2        C#m2    (E)
I don't want to just get by 

That's it! The only part I'm unsure of is the grace? where the hammer-on is in the riff. 
Other than that, it's all correct! 5 stars? And check out my other tabs! How Great is 
Our God ver 2 and Awake My Soul ver 1, both by Chris Tomlin. God bless!
