verse1
        F#
I spent half my life on bended knee begging somebody to change
        E                     B                   F#
And the other half prayin' to God that they never would
    F#
And all it got me was twice as lost when it all turned out the same
    E                        B            F#
But all that beggin' finally did somebody good
                    C#                      B
I used to dream all night of a day that was gone
                     C#                     B
But come the morning light forever from now on

chorus
            C#                         B   F#
Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide o - pen
           E             B              F#
I'll do my looking back    with my eyes closed
               C#                             B     F#
We can do some living or spend our whole life hop - in'
                 E         B             C#
In the end we're left with    the one we 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
