Awake Too Long

	  		Am, F, C (through the whole song) 

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

Am       F             C 
We threw swords in the oceans wide and deep 
Am         F         C 
We promise peace but peace won't last 
Am         F         C 
because we force new blades so 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 
wish there was something 
            Am       F 
that should close my eyes 
C 
to all that I see 
Am        F 
awake too long 
C 
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
