[Intro]  Gm  F#  Bb  A  F#

Gm                              A
It's time you learned a lesson
Bb                              C
  It's time that you understand
F                                Gm
 Don't ever count on anybody else
Eb
 In this or any other land

Gm                          A
I once hoped for friendship
Bb                            C
 To find a place among my kind
F                                   Gm
 But those were the childish wishes
Eb
Of someone who was blind
            Cm  Eb  F
Open up your eyes

F         Gm               Bb
See the world from were I stand
              Cm7   Eb
Me among the mighty
                  Gm    F
You caged at my command
Bb          Cm  Eb  F
Open up your eyes

               Gm              Bb
Give up your sweet fantasyland
                          Gm
It's time to grow up and get wise
      Cm
Come now little one
  D            Gm  Bb  F
Open up your eyes

Bbm
We all start out the same
              Bb     F#
With simple naïve trust
Bbm                F#   Bbm
Shielded from the many ways
                 C#       Eb  Bb  Dm
That life's not fair or just

                     F
But then there comes a moment
           Gm                  F
A simple truth that you must face
G       Am          Dm
If you depend on others
         Gm              Am
You'll never find your place

( F  Bbm  Dm  Ab  Eb  Bbm )
( F#  Bb  Db  B  F  C  G )

G                      C
And as you take that first step
        Bb                   C
Upon a path that's all your own
Gm                   F
You see it all so clearly
     Eb            D             Gm
The best way to survive is all alone

             Cm  Eb
Open up your eyes
             Gm                 Bb
And see the world from where I stand
               Cm  Eb
Me among the mighty
             F      Gm
You caged at my command

            Cm  F  Eb
Open up your eyes
      Gm                   Bb
And behold the fading light
           Eb         Cm  Gm
It's time to grow up and get wise
     Cm
Come now little one
D         Eb    Cm   Ab
Open up your eyes
Eb  D      Gm
 Open up your eyes
