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
