Open Your Eyes - Snow Patrol

mi sol la si la sol la mi
All this feels strange and untrue
mi sol si la sol la mi sol mi re
And I won’t waste a minute without you
mi sol la si la sol la mi
My bones ache, my skin feels cold
mi sol si la sol la mi mi sol mi re
And I’m getting so tired and so old

mi sol la si la sol la mi
The anger swells in my guts
mi sol si la sol la mi sol mi re
And I won’t feel these slices and cuts
mi sol mi sol la si si la sol la mi
I want so much to open your eyes
mi sol si la sol la mi mi sol mi re
´Cause I need you to look into mine

DO DO DO DO RE DO DO sol fa
Tell me that you’ll open your eyes (4x)

mi sol mi sol la si si la sol la mi
Get up, get out, get away from these liars
mi sol si la sol la mi mi sol mi re
´Cause they don’t get your soul or your fire
sol mi sol la si si la sol la mi
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
mi sol si la sol la mi mi sol mi re
And we’ll walk from this dark room for the last time

sol mi sol la si si la sol la mi
Every minute from this minute now
mi sol si la sol la mi mi sol mi re
We can do what we like anywhere
mi sol mi sol la si si la sol la mi
I want so much to open your eyes
mi sol si la sol la mi mi sol mi re
´Cause I need you to look into mine

DO DO DO DO RE DO DO sol fa
Tell me that you’ll open your eyes (8x)

mi sol la si la sol la mi
All this feels strange and untrue
mi sol si la sol la mi sol mi re
And I won’t waste a minute without you
