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