Rise Against - Awake Too Long

Remove Ads
Gm, F, G (through the whole song)
 
Gm F G CI watched the rise and the fall of the common man
Gm F G CI lived to see all our steps walked back
Gm F G CI watched the walls all crash down crumbling
Gm F Gjust to be rebuilt while we slept
 
Gm F G CWe threw swords in the oceans wide and deep
Gm F G CWe promise peace but peace won't last
Gm F G Cbecause we force new blades so nervously
Gm F Gwaiting for this harmony to pass
 
Gm F GI stand guard and roam
Gm F Glike a sentinel
Gm F Gand I see it all
 
Gm FI've been awake too long
G Cwish there was something
Gm Fthat should close my eyes
G Cto all that I see
Gm Fawake too long
G Cit would be easier
Gm F Gto 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
