verse1
I spent [F#]half my life on bended knee begging somebody to change
And the [E]other half prayin' to [B]God that they never [F#]would
And [F#]all it got me was twice as lost when it all turned out the same
But [E]all that beggin' finally [B]did somebody [F#]good
I used to dream all [C#]night of a day that was [B]gone
But come the morning [C#]light forever from now [B]on
chorus
Gonna do my [C#]dreaming with my eyes wide [B]o - [F#]pen
I'll do my [E]looking back [B] with my eyes [F#]closed
We can do some [C#]living or spend our whole life [B]hop - [F#]in'
In the end we're [E]left with [B] the one we [C#]chose |start turn
B . . . / . . . . / . . . . / . . . . / F#
So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
turn repeat intro2
verse2
Every time the world moved on I fell a little further behind
From running back or following someone home
Until I learned that one step forward will take you further on
Than a thousand back or a million that ain't your own
I used to dream all night of a day that was gone
But come the morning light forever from now on
