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

Every time the world moved on, I fell a little further behind

Than a thousand back or a million that ain't your own
