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