#1:
    E MajorE
I spent half my life on bended knee, begging somebody to change
    D MajorD           A augmentedA             E MajorE
And the other half prayin' to God that they never would
E MajorE
And all it got me was twice as lost, when it all turned out the same
  D MajorD            A augmentedA      E MajorE
But all that beggin' finally did somebody good
          BB             A augmentedA
I used to dream all night Of the day that was gone
A augmentedA          BB         A augmentedA
But come the mornin' light forever from now on

Chorus:
      BB              E MajorE
Gonna do my dreamin', with my eyes wide open
      D MajorD      A augmentedA          E MajorE
I'll do my looking back, with my eyes closed
        BB               E MajorE
We can do some livin' Or spend our whole life hopin'
             D MajorD    A augmentedA      BB
'Cause in the end we're left with the one we chose
        A augmentedA             E MajorE
So, I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

Instrumental Break:

#2:
E MajorE
Every time the world moved on, I fell a little further behind
   D MajorD        A augmentedA           E MajorE
From runnin' back or followin' someone home
E MajorE
Till I learned that one step forward, will take you further on
    D MajorD         A augmentedA            E MajorE
Than a thousand back or a million that ain't your own
E MajorE          BB             A augmentedA
I used to dream all night Of the day that was gone
A augmentedA          BB           A augmentedA
But come the mornin' light forever from now on

Chorus:
      BB              E MajorE
Gonna do my dreamin', with my eyes wide open
      D MajorD      A augmentedA      E MajorE
I'll do my looking back, with my eyes closed
        BB               E MajorE
We can do some livin' Or spend our whole life hopin'
             D MajorD    A augmentedA      BB
'Cause in the end we're left with the one we chose
        A augmentedA             E MajorE
So, I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

'Cause in the end we're left with the one we chose
        A augmentedA             E MajorE
So, I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
