G       F#
You're wide awake
But still you're dreaming
Of the pride it takes
It has no meaning

G  D       C
Am I still here
Am  D   G       D          C 
Can you see me please say yes
Am  D   G        D          C
Can you heal me please say yes
Am   D   G              D             D/F# D/E D D/C# D/B D/C#
When you watch over me I am blessed

Now that you're all grown up
You're not so self assured you'll never know
Who do you answer to when
No one's hanging round to let it show

You're wide awake
But still you're dreaming
The pride it takes
It has no meaning

Am I still here
Can you hear me please say yes
Can you heal me please say yes
When you watch over me I am blessed

Solo: C G/B A x4

Verse 3: Key change from D to E.

E                    A    C# E 
You're old enough to know better
E              A C# E 
Than to expect anything
E           
Take care of yourself
A   C#     E
You should know not to depend on anyone

Am I still here
Can you feel me please say yes
Can you heal me please say yes
When you watch over me I am blessed

Am I still here
Can you see me please say yes
Can you heal me please say yes
When you watch over me I am blessed
