When your told that day is over (IV > I)
long after the sun goes down (vi > V)
And your mind it keeps on racing (IV > I)

'Cause your whole life's been a fight (vi > V)
When the dark holds you and you can't break through (IV > I)
cause you haven't seen the light. (vi > V)

Open up your eyes

And all the prisoners breaking their chains
C majorC		   G+G
And all the poor find their treasure
E minorEm	 	    D MajorD
Cause heaven is coming this way. x2
