Close My Eyes

Intro:   G     A    x2


G                A
I was way - ward child
             G
With the weight of the world
        A
That I held deep inside
G               A
Life was a winding road
          G
And I learned many things
          A
Little ones shouldn't know

         G            A
But I closed my eyes
                G
Steadied my feet on the ground
                A
Raised my head to the sky
                  G             A
And though time's rolled by
          G
Still I feel like that child
        A
As I look at the moon
G
Maybe I grew up
    A
A little too soon

G                 A
Funny how one can learn
            G
To grow numb to the madness

And block it away
G                   A
I left the worst unsaid
          G
Let it all dissipate
          A
And I try to forget

       G                       A
As I closed my eyes
                G
Steadied my feet on the ground
                A
Raised my head to the sky
                  G             A
And though time's rolled by
          G
Still I feel like that child
        A
As I look at the moon
G
Maybe I grew up
    A
A little too soon

G       A     x2

F                 G
Nearing the edge
A
Obvious I almost
G
Fell right over
A            G
A part of me
       A
Will never be quite able
G                    A
To feel stable
                 G                 
That woman-child falling inside
 A

G                          A
Was on the verge of fading
G
Thankfully I
                  A
Woke up in time

G             A
Guardian angel I
       G
Sail away on an ocean
         A
With you by my side
G          A
Orange clouds roll by
         G
They burn into your image
        A
And you're still alive

G             A
But I closed my eyes
                G
Steadied my feet on the ground
                A
Raised my head to the sky
                  G             A
And though time's rolled by
          G
Still I feel like that child
        A
As I look at the moon
G
Maybe I grew up
    A
A little too soon
