Verse
C
From the time we were young
Em
We were wild-eyed dreamers
C Em
And now we cautiously raise our eyes
C
The season has turned
D Bm
From warm to the next
[Chorus 1]
C
We are wide awake now
Em
We are wide awake now
C
We are wide awake now
A
We are wide awake now
C Em
We are wide awake now
[Verse 2]
C
There's a burden
Em
We all must shoulder
D G Em C
So come on and put your back to the load
[Verse 3]
Em
Tears won't help
C
But to water the ground
Em C
Nothing, nothing will grow
Em
So weep til you drown
D
Or until you run dry
[Chorus 2]
C
We are wide awake now
Am
We are wide awake now
C
We are wide awake now
Am
We are wide awake now
C
Wide awake now
Em
Wide awake now
