G 	  	    B 	  
Opened up my eyes, looked around 
C                          D 
Everything I needed was so easily found 
        G                 B 
I got a couch, a chair, a lamp up on the table 
C                           D 
Dishes and a stove so I can cook when I am able 
      G                             B  
I got clothes that I put on my back,fresh towels hangin on the rack 
C                             D     
Two dogs layin in my backyard and six strings on this old guitar 

    C       D        G 
But what do I possess? 
C          D            G 
What can I really call my own 
C     D          G  D  Em 
Open up my eyes I realize 
C             D         G 
Much to my surprise I'm broke 
 
 
I got a 9-5 good payin job 
I gotta bossman that i work for but he don't work me to hard 
I got bills pilin up that i know that i can't pay 
I got a ten dollar bill stuffed in my shoe and I'm savin it for a rainy day 
 
Chorus 
 
I got two brothers, and i got two sisters 
I got a grandma in a nursing home and i really miss her 
I got another brother that broke my heart,cuz we don't see eye to eye 
A mom and dad that love me, but sometimes i just don't know why 
 
Chorus 
 
Open up my eyes, looked around 
Everything I needed was so easily found 
I got my health, and i got time 
And dispite myself I've got peace of mind 
I've got a pretty girl I call my girlfriend  
and I can call her whenever I'm so inclined 
 
Chorus
