[Intro]
Amadd9 F Fmaj7 Amadd9 G

[Verse 1]
Amadd9
Baby, I get so scared inside
G
And I don’t really understand
Fmaj7
Is it love that’s on my mind
Amadd9 G
Or is it fantasy?
Amadd9
Heaven, is in the palm of my hand
G6
And it’s waiting here for you
Fmaj7
What am I supposed to do
Amadd9
With a childhood tragedy?

[Chorus]
F Asus2 Asus4 Am G
If I close my eyes forever
F Asus2 Asus4 Am G
Would it all remain unchanged?
F Asus2 Asus4 Am G
If I close my eyes forever
F G G6
Would it all remain the same?

[Verse 2]
Amadd9
Sometimes, it’s hard to hold on
G
So hard to hold on to my dreams
Fmaj7
It isn’t always what it seems
Amadd9 G
When you’re face to face with me
Amadd9
Like a dagger you stick me in the heart
G6
And taste the blood from my veins
Fmaj7
And when we sleep would you shelter me
Amadd9
In your warm and darkened grave?

[Chorus]
F Asus2 Asus4 Am G
If I close my eyes forever
F Asus2 Asus4 Am G
Would it all remain unchanged?
F Asus2 Am Cadd9 C
If I close my eyes forever
F G5 Em
Would it all remain the same?

[Bridge]
Bb
Will you ever take me?
Gm Dm C
No I just can’t take the pain
Bb
Would you ever trust me?
Gm Dm A
No I’ll never feel the same Oh

[Instrumental]
Bb Gm Dm C5

[Verse 3]
Amadd9 G
I know I’ve been so hard on you
Fmaj7 Amadd9 G5
I know I’ve told you lies
Amadd9 G6
If I could have just one more wish
Fmaj7 Amadd9
I’d wipe the cobwebs from my eyes

[Outro]
Amadd9 G
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Fmaj7 Amadd9
You gotta close your eyes for me
