#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 

 
            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

#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 

 
            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
