D
You want what you deserve
G                   F
But it's right in front of you
D
You want something better
G        F
Than any other
D
You don't even bother
G          F
To figure what it is
D
That you think you deserve
G       F               C
You'll find it all one day
    A#
But not this way

Chorus:
D          F
Open your eyes
      A#         D#
Your heart will follow
D          F
Open your eyes
     G#               D#
See what you've been missing
D          F
Open your eyes
     A#      D#     D G F
And find the answer

I can't take anymore
Have you ever asked yourself
"What am I looking for?"
You're indesisive
You are just another caught up in all of this
Plastic glamerous world
You'll never see
Who you could be

Chorus

     G#                  F#
Your world is waiting, anticipating
     G#
Your time is fading
        A               D
If you never open your eyes

                   C  A#
If only you could see
                                 C
That there is something you can do
   A#
To make this better

Chorus

You're world is waiting, anticipating
But your time is fading
If you never open your eyes
