Open Your Eyes

Em                C
Monday I drifted away
            D                 G
with some coffee to keep me awake.
         Em                     C
And you saw New York one final time
          D                       G
as this credit card shut up your eyes.

Em                       C
Tuesday I woke with the dawn
     D                       G
and put my old wedding ring on.
         Em                     C
She said, time is a fickle mistress
          D                         G
you can drink but you'll never fool it.

[Chorus]

C        G
I am invisible to you.
D         G
All on my own, what can i do?
C               G                 D6/F#
Southbound is heaven, the city is sin.

Em                       C
Wednesday I hung from a tree
 D                       G
hoping that you'd notice me.
         Em                            C
And you bathed all my wounds in your tears
     D                    G
and showered me with sympathy.

Em                       C
Thursday was harder to take
            D                       G
with these pills piled high on my plate.
         Em                     C
So I swallowed each one in a haste
        D                       G
in a cascade of light I was saved.


C        G
I am invisible to you.
D         G
All on my own, what can i do?
C               G                 D6/F#
Southbound is heaven, the city of sin.

[Breakdown]

D                 G
Em                C
D                 G


C            G
She says I'm sorry my darling.
D         G
Time stole the joy we were hiding.
C         G                    D6/F#
I am in love and this baby is yours.

      Em                          C
And I don't want to live in this lie.
            D                    G
And let darkness just cover my eyes.
         Em                     C
And I'm trying to get myself clean
          D                       G
but it's all I can do to just scream.

Em                C
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
            D                 G
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
         Em                     C
Whoa, whoa, whoa...
          D                       G
Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Em
