From the time we were young

We were wild-eyed dreamers
F Am
And now we cautiously raise our eyes

The season has turned
G Em
From warm to the next
[Chorus 1]

We are wide awake now

We are wide awake now

We are wide awake now

We are wide awake now
[Verse 2]

There's a burden
Am
We all must shoulder
G C Am F
So come on and put your back to the load
[Verse 3]
Am
Tears won't help

But to water the ground
Am F
Nothing, nothing will grow
Am
So weep til you drown
G
Or until you run dry
[Chorus 2]

We are wide awake now
Dm
We are wide awake now

We are wide awake now
Dm
We are wide awake now
F
Wide awake now
Am
Wide awake now
