(Do do do do do do... etc)


C5                 G5                  A5
    I heard the wings beat on the wind tonight 
C5              G5                     A5
    As the heat stole power from the darkening light. 
F5              G5                   C5                 F5
    I saw the streets fill up with people that I knew, 
F5              G5    
    People who looked like you. 


A5                     F5               A5
    Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
       A5             F5             A5
    We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break


C5                     G5        A5
    Drift through the streets, walk between the cars
    C5                G5              A5
    Newborn sons and daughters spat forth from distant stars
F5                     G5              C5                          F5  
    The summer will reveal itself to those whose hearts are true
F5                   G5            
    And to the faithless few


A5                     F5               A5
    Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
       A5             F5             A5
    We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break
                                       

F5            G5        E5       F5                 
    Who will rise and who will sink?
F5                                  G5                   F5   
    Who's going to stand his ground and who's going to blink?
          A5                         F5    A5                           
    Surge forward from Van Cortlandt Park ... like frightened sheep
C5                       G5                    A5                      
    Spirit throngs that hoist us high, three thousand warriors deep
F5                       G5           C5                         F5          
    Spray our dreams on any surface where the paint will stick
F5                          G5                            
    Try to time the rhythm , listen for the click


A5                     F5               A5
    Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake
       A5             F5             A5 (N.C.)
    We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break
