Situational Awareness

(Key: A Minor)
(Tempo: Mid-tempo, bluesy and cool)

[Verse 1]

Am
Walkin' through the crowd with my head held low,
G
Eyes wide open, takin' in the show,
F
A nod, a glance, a whisper in the air,
E
Every heartbeat tellin' me, "Beware."

[Verse 2]

Am
Back against the wall when the lights go dim,
G
Smiles too easy, chances too slim,
F
Got a pocket full of instincts you can't teach,
E
A little bit of soul just outta reach.

[Chorus]

F G
Situational awareness, it’s a second skin,
Am E
A little voice sayin' "Don’t dive in,"
F G
Readin' every signal, every stare,
Am E
Situational awareness — I’m already there.

[Verse 3]

Am
Clock on the wall don't tell the time,
G
It's the look in their eyes and the twist of the line,
F
Smell of the rain before the storm rolls through,
E
Gotta trust what the world don't tell you.

[Chorus]

F G
Situational awareness, it’s a second skin,
Am E
A little voice sayin' "Don’t dive in,"
F G
Readin' every signal, every stare,
Am E
Situational awareness — I’m already there.

[Bridge]

F G
It’s the step you don’t take,
Am E
The deal you don’t make,
F G
The silence you hear,
Am E
When trouble's near.

[Final Chorus]

F G
Situational awareness, it’s a second skin,
Am E
A little voice sayin' "Don’t dive in,"
F G
Readin' every signal, every stare,
Am E
Situational awareness — I’m already there.

[Outro]

Am E
Yeah, I'm already there...
Am
Situational awareness.

🎸 Musical Feel:
Bluesy, steady groove — electric guitar with a little crunch.
Snare drum rim taps in the verses, full beat in the chorus.
