[Verse 1]
E Doctor, my eyes have seen the years G#mC#m And the slow parade of fears without crying AE Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could, to see the evil and the good without hiding. You must help me if you can
[Chorus]
C#mE Doctor, my eyes, tell me what is wrong C#mBAED/EA/EE Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
[Verse 2]
E 'Cause I have wandered through this world G#mC#m And as each moment has unfurled, I've been waiting AE to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will, I never noticed them until
I got this feeling, that it's later than it seems
[Chorus]
C#mE Doctor, my eyes, tell me what you see C#mBD/E** A (ED/EA/EE repeat) I hear their cries, just say if it's too late for me
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
C#mE Doctor, my eyes cannot see the sky C#mBAED/EA/EE Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry
*D/E. Played on an acoustic guitar, this sounds more like the piano chord when the form is played from 2nd position and extended over 3 frets. Notes: EAF#ADF#
**End of refrain before instrumental is slightly different than others
