(Intro)
[G]Everybody's waiting
[D]Everybody's watching
[Em]Even when you're sleeping
[C]Keep your ey-eyes open[G] [D] [Em] [C]
(Verse 1)
[G]The tricky thing
Is yesterday we were just [D]children
Playing soldiers just [Em]pretending
Dreaming dreams with happy [C]endings
[G]In backyards, winning battles with our [D]wooden swords
But now we've stepped into a [Em]cruel world
Where everybody stands and [C]keeps score
Keep [D]your eyes open
(Chorus)
[G]Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
[D]Everybody's watching to see the fallout
[Em]Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
[C]Keep your ey-eyes open[G]
[D]Keep your ey-eyes open[Em]
[C]Keep your ey-eyes open[G]
(Verse 2)
[G]So here you are, two steps ahead and staying [D]on guard
Every lesson forms a [Em]new scar
They never thought you'd make [C]it this far
[G]But turn around
(turn around), oh they've surrounded you
It's a [D]showdown (showdown) and
nobody comes to [Em]save you now
But you've got something they [C]don't
Yeah you've got something they don't
You've just gotta keep [D]your eyes open
(Chorus)
[G]Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
[D]Everybody's watching to see the fallout
[Em]Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
[C]Keep your ey-eyes open[G]
[D]Keep your ey-eyes [Em]open
[C]Keep your ey-eyes
(Bridge)
Keep [D]your feet ready
[Em]Heartbeat steady
[C]Keep your [D]eyes open
Keep your [Em]aim locked
The night[C] goes dark
Keep [G]your eyes [D]open (keep your eyes open)
(Chorus)
[G]Everybody's waiting for you to breakdown
[D]Everybody's watching to see the fallout
[Em]Even when you're sleeping, sleeping
[C]Keep your ey-eyes open[G]
Keep your ey-eyes [D]open
Keep your ey-eyes [Em]open
Keep your ey-eyes [C]open
Keep your ey-eyes [G]open
