D                                   F
I’m in a dream I’m flying over hills,
D                             F 
I see it shining in the hay.
D                                   F
There’s something golden in my hands,
pre-chorus:
      C                                   A
And then I go and let it slip away.

Chorus:
       D                  A              C              G
With eyes that are open, my feelings are spoken.
     D               A             C          G
It’s time for the waters to break.
   D                 A                    C               G   
I know where I should be, and I’m gonna make it there.
   D               A              C       G
I won’t let you be my mistake.
D  A  C  G
verse:
The days go by like chapters from a book,
I’m skipping pages to the end.
There’s a story that I’ll never know,
pre-corus:
The one about the man who makes amends.
chorus:
With eyes that are open, my feelings are spoken.
It’s time for the waters to break.
I know where I should be, and I’m gonna make it there.
I won’t let you be my mistake.
bridge:
      G6               A                G6               D
The moment’s uncovered, I must seize the day.
       G6           A                       C         G             
This goal that I hold high - won’t let it be lost for all
D      A      C      G            
time.
D    A    C(to die away)
2X chorus:
With eyes that are open, my feelings are spoken.
It’s time for the waters to break.
I know where I should be, and I’m gonna make it there.
I won’t let you be my mistake.
With eyes that are broken, my feelings are spoken.
It’s time for the waters to break.
I know where I should be, and I’m gonna make it there.
I won’t let you be my mistake.
