[Chorus]
F
I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me,
CBbCF
To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
F
I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me,
CCmF
To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
[Verse]
F
You used to rock me in the cradle of your arms,
F
You said you'd hold me till the pains of life were gone.
F
You said you'd comfort me in times like these and now I need you,
GmCGmF
Now I need you, and you are gone.
[Chorus]
F
I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me,
CF
To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
F
Since you've gone and left me, there's been so little beauty,
GmCF
But I know I saw it clearly through your eyes.
[Verse]
F
Now the world outside is such a cold and bitter place,
F
Here inside I have few things that will console.
CF
And when I try to hear your voice above the storms of life,
CGmF
Then I remember all the things that I was told.
[Chorus]
F
I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me,
CF
To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
F
I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me,
GmCF
To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
[Verse]
F
I think on the things that made me feel so wonderful when i was young.
F
I think on the things that made me laugh, made me dance, made me sing.
F
I think on the things that made me grow into a being full of pride.
CF
I think on these things, for they are true.
[Chorus]
FCF
I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me,
GmCF
To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
CF
I thought that you were gone, but now I know you're with me,
GmCF
You are the voice that whispers all I need to hear.
[Verse]
FGmF
I know a please a thank you and a smile will take me far,
CmF
I know that I am you and you are me and we are one,
CF
I know that who I am is numbered in each grain of sand,
F
I know that I've been blessed again, and over again.
[Chorus]
F
I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me,
GmF
To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me,
BbCmFC
To see the beauty in the world through my own eyes.
