Open up your eyes

[Gm]It's time you [Gm7]learned a [Dm]lesson

[Gm]It's time that [Gm7]you [Dm]understand

[Gm]Don't ever [Dm]count on [F]anybody [C]else

In [Eb]this or any [F]other [Gm]land

 

[Gm]I once hoped [Gm7]for [Dm]friendship

[Gm]To find a [Gm7]place among my [Dm]kind

[Gm]But those [Dm]were the [F]childish [C]wishes

Of [Eb]someone who [F]was [Gm]blind

 

Open up your [Eb] [Gm]eyes

See the [Eb]world from [Bb]were I [F]stand

Me among the [Cm]mighty

You [Cm]caged at [F]my [Gm]command

Open up your [Eb] [Gm]eyes

Give up [Eb]your sweet [Bb] [F]fantasyland

It's time to [Cm]grow up and get wise[Gm]

Come now [Cdim7]little one

Open up your [Gm]eyes

 

[Gb]We all start [Bbm]out the same

[Gb]With simple naïve [Db]trust

[Gb]Shielded from the [Bbm]many ways

That [Gb]life's not fair or [Db]just

[Bb]But then there comes a [Dm]moment

A simple [Bb]truth that you must [Dm]face

If you [Eb]depend on [Dm]others

You'll [Bb]never find your [A]place

 

[F] [F6] [Gm7] [Dm] [Ab] [Eb] [Bbm] [B]

[Bbm] [B]

[Ab] [Bm] [Bdim7]

 

[Bb]And as you take that [Dm]first step

Upon a [Gm]path that's all your [C]own

You [Gm]see it all so [Dm]clearly

The [Gm7]best way to [Dm]survive is all [Gm]alone

 

Open up your [Eb] [Gm]eyes

And see [Eb]the world [Bb]from [F]where I stand

Me among the [Cm]mighty

You [Cm]caged at [F]my [Gm]command

Open up your [Eb] [Gm]eyes

And [Cm]behold the [F]fading [Gm] [Bb]light

It's time to [Cm]grow up and get [Dm]wise

Come now [Cdim7]little one

 

[Dm]O[Bb]pen [Dm]up [Bb]your [Gm]eyes

[Dm]O[Bb]pen [Dm]up [Bb]your [Gm]eyes
