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