Awake Too Long

Am            F            C    
I watched the rise and the fall 
       G
of the common man
Am         F           C        
I lived to see all our steps 
    G
walked back
Am            F         C        
I watched the walls all crash down 
  G
crumbling
Am      F          C
just to be rebuilt while we slept

Am       F             C      G
We threw swords in the oceans wide 
and deep
Am         F         C           
We promise peace but peace won't 
G
last
Am         F         C         
because we force new blades so 
G
nervously
Am      F        C
waiting for this harmony to pass

Am      F         C
I stand guard and roam
Am     F    C
like a sentinel
Am  F        C
and I see it all

          Am        F
I've been awake too long
C          G
wish there was something
            Am       F
that should close my eyes
C      G
to all that I see
Am        F
awake too long
C           G
it would be easier
   Am   F    C
to fall asleep

We fell in love but the love kept 
running out
we followed roads but the roads all 
end
we lived and lerned and learned to 
live without
fallingn from the ladders we ascend

I've seen the eyes of the widows 
left behind
I've seen the child of a fallen man
and never once did our leaders 
apologize
for battles they began
