Intro: C  G  Am   (2x) 


C                 G                  Am 
    I heard the wings beat on the wind tonight  
C              G                     Am 
    As the heat stole power from the darkening light.  
F              G                   C                 F 
    I saw the streets fill up with people that I knew,  
F              G     
    People who looked like you.  


Am                     F               Am 
    Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake 
       Am             F             Am 
    We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break 


C                     G        Am 
    Drift through the streets, walk between the cars 
    C                G              Am 
    Newborn sons and daughters spat forth from distant stars 
F                     G              C                          F   
    The summer will reveal itself to those whose hearts are true 
F                   G             
    And to the faithless few 


Am                     F               Am 
    Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake 
       Am             F             Am 
    We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break 
                                        

F            G        Em       F                  
    Who will rise and who will sink? 
F                                  G                   F    
    Who's going to stand his ground and who's going to blink? 
          Am                         F    Am                            
    Surge forward from Van Cortlandt Park ... like frightened sheep 
C                       G                    Am                       
    Spirit throngs that hoist us high, three thousand warriors deep 
F                       G           C                         F           
    Spray our dreams on any surface where the paint will stick 
F                          G                             
    Try to time the rhythm, listen for the click 


Am                     F               Am 
    Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake 
       Am             F             Am  
    We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break
