Verse:

      F#        A         D         A

I'm a fortunate son, of a fortunate son,

      F#     A            E

	Living large on the wrong side of town.

F#       A               D         A

Too many friends and the fun never ends,

      F#           A       E

	Drinkin' and hangin' around.

  F#             A               D          A

I wanna' rule the world, I wanna' swallow it whole.

         F#            A           E

	At least I could kick it all down.

A ------9------7-----------5------X-X---

E --------------------------------X-X---

	I wanna' kick it all down.



Chorus:

(play intro)

Eyes wide open, I can't see.

Eyes wide open, what you mean.

Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be.



My eyes wide open, I can't see.

Eyes wide open, what you mean.

Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be.



(verse)

I don't take the bus, and I never walked too far,

	The furthest I got was my own backyard.

A fist full of cash that somebody else earned,

	They sent me some more when it all got burned.

I wanna' take control, I wanna' make it all mine.

	At least I could kick it all down.

G -----------------------------------------

D ----------------------------------7------

A ------9------7-----------5-----/5----X-X-

E -------------------------------------X-X-

	I wanna' kick it all down.



(chorus)

Eyes wide open, I can't see.

Eyes wide open, what you mean.

Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be



Eyes wide open, I can't see.

Eyes wide open, what you mean.

Eyes wide open, I can't seem to be.

(verse)

I'll get what I want if I make up my mind

I'm turnin' you inside out



I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole

I think I'll just kick it all down.
