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