Close My Eyes (Cifrada)

Tom: G
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    x4


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

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                  A
That woman-child falling inside
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
