[Verse 1]

E
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
             G#m                      C#m
And the slow parade of fears without crying
       A         E
Now I want to understand
E                                       G#m
I have done all that I could, to see the evil and the good
        C#m               A              E
without hiding.  You must help me if you can

[Chorus]
           C#m   E
Doctor, my eyes, tell me what is wrong
        C#m                 B             A
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

E          D/E  A/E  E

[Verse 2]
              E
'Cause I have wandered through this world
             G#m                            C#m
And as each moment has unfurled,  I've been waiting
       A              E
to awaken from these dreams
E                                        G#m
People go just where they will,  I never noticed them until
           C#m                A             E
I got this feeling, that it's later than it seems

[Chorus]
           C#m   E
Doctor, my eyes, tell me what you see
             C#m          B              D/E**  A
I hear their cries, just say if it's too late for me


[Instrumental break]
(E        D/E       A/E     E      repeat)

[Chorus]
           C#m        E
Doctor, my eyes, they cannot see the sky
            C#m              B                  A
Is this the price for having learned how not to cry
