 F        A#                 D#
Hey, sleepwalker, don't you miss the way
 F          A#                 D#
Wildflowers paint the western hills?
        F            A#             D#
Or the first autumn whisper mid-September brings
          F   A#                  D#
And the glowy excitement that it builds?

Chorus:
D#    A#               F
Everyone is afraid of something
D#          A#           F
Even the strongest man alive
 D#       A#               F
Hey, sleepwalker, we went walking
in the western hills
                   D#
And we picked you wildflowers
F                    Gm  D#
You gotta open your eyes

Hey, dreamcatcher, come out and see the leaves
The mountainside's all watermelon red
Soon enough, they're gonna rust and fall
Leave the mountainside cold and bare
But when the longer days of sun appear
They'll be rising like an answered prayer
and I know that

Chorus:
Everyone is afraid of losing
Even the ones that always win
Hey, sleepwalker,
when the mountain comes back to life
It doesn't come from without
It comes from within

F              Gm                      A#        D#
The hills are barren, but we look for what's to come
F         Gm             A#       D#
Sweeter skies and longer days of sun
F         Gm                       A#      D#
When you wake up, I'll be standing in the line
F            Gm                 A#         D#
To kiss your eyes and wipe the tears from mine

Chorus:
'Cause everyone is afraid of something
Even the strongest man alive
Hey, sleepwalker, Western Bluebells
and Painted Cups are getting ready to rise
It's time to begin
It doesn't come from without
It comes from within
