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