#1:
        E
I spent half my life on bended knee, begging somebody to change
        D                     A                         E
And the other half prayin' to God that they never would
E

And all it got me was twice as lost, when it all turned out the same
    D                        A            E
But all that beggin' finally did somebody good
                    B                         A
I used to dream all night Of the day that was gone
A                    B                  A
But come the mornin' light forever from now on

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

Instrumental Break:

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

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