[Intro 1]
[Dm][Am][C][F][Dm][Am][C]
[F][G][Am][C][F][Dm][Am][C][F]
[G][Am][C][F]
[Dm][Am][C][F][G][Am]
[F][Am]

[Verse 1]
I watched the rise and the fall of the common man
I lived [F]to see your [C]steps walk [Am]back
I watched the walls all [F]crash down,
crumbling
Just [Dm]to be rebuilt while
we slipped
[Em][Dm][Am]

[Verse 2]
We threw suds in the oceans winding
[F]We promised peace but the
[C]peace won't [G]last
[Am]'Cause now we forged [F]new
brakes so nervously
Wait[Dm]ing for [Em]this harmony
[G]to pass[A][Am][F]

[Verse 3]
I stand guard and [Am]roam[Em][Dm]
Like a sen[Am]tinel
[G]I s[F]ee it all[G]
I've [Em]been awake

[Verse 4]
[Am]too long[C]
[F]Wish there was som[Dm]ething
that could [Am]close my [C]eyes
To [F]all that I see
[G]Awa[Am]ke too lon[C]g
[F]It would be eas[Dm]ier t[C]o fall[F] asl[G]eep

[Verse 5]
[Am]We fell in love but the
love kept running out
[F]We follow roads but the roa[C]ds all end[G]
[Am]We lived and learned,
and [F]learned to live without
[Dm]Falling from the matters we [E]as semble
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[Am]I've seen the eyes of
the widows left behind
[F]I've seen the child of a v[C]iolent man[G]
[Am]And never once did our
[F]leaders apologize
[Dm]For batt[Em]les they[G] began[Am][G]

[Verse 7]
[F]I can't look away,
[Am]or pretend[Dm] not to see[F]
And so I [G]say

[Verse 8]
I've been [Am]awake too [C]long
[F]Wish there was som[Dm]ething
that could [Am]close my [C]eyes
To [F]all that I [G]see
[C]Awa[Am]ke too lon[C]g
[F]It would be eas[Dm]ier to fal[F]l asl[C]eep[G]

[Verse 9]
[F]Asleep[Dm][A][Asus4][A]
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[F][Dm][Am]
[F]

[Verse 10]
Maybe I would [Dm]dream if
I could [Am]sleep
Maybe I'd [G]see what
this could [C]be[F]
[C]Inste[Dm]ad of what you[Am] know[F]
And is there [Dm]bliss in ignorance?
[Am]Is this our demise[G] we
can't pre[F]vent?
Should we fall asleep?
[G]

[Verse 11]
I've been [Am]awake too long
[Asus4]I've been awake too[Am] long
I've been awake too long

[Verse 12]
I've been awake too long
[Am](I've been awake [C]too long) And like
[F]constant [Dm]vi gils we all
[Am](I've been awake too long)[C]Carry
[F]eternal flames
(I've been awake [Am]too long) I'm satur
[C]ate [F]pains to an [Dm]open heart
[Am](I'vebeen awake
too long) But through it [C]all
[F]Every single [G]cut I've been awake
[Am]
