#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

#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
