Close My Eyes Forever

Baby, I get so scared inside,

and I (G)don't really understand.

Is it (Fmaj7)love that's on my mind,

or is it (Am)fantasy?

Heaven is in the palm of my hand,

and it's (G)waiting here for you.

What am (Fmaj7)I supposed to do with a childhood (Am)tragedy?

(F)If I close my eyes forever,

(F)will it all remain unchanged?

(F)If I close my eyes forever,

(F)will it all remain the same?

(Am)Sometimes it's hard to hold on,

so hard to (G)hold on to my dreams.

It isn't (Fmaj7)always what it seems when you're face to face with me.

(G)And like a (Am)dagger,

you stick me in the heart (G)and taste the blood from my blade.

And (Fmaj7)when we sleep, would you shelter me in your (Am)warm and darkened grave?

(Fmaj7)If I close my eyes (Am)forever,

(Fmaj7)will it all remain unchanged?

(Fmaj7)If I close my eyes (Am)forever,

(Fmaj7)will it all remain the same?

(Bb)Will you ever take me?

(Gm)No, I just can't take the pain.

(Bb)Would you ever trust me?

(Gm)No, I'll never feel the (Dm)same.

(Am)I know I've been so (G)hard on you,

(Fmaj7)I know I've told you lies.

(Am)If I could have just (G)one more wish,

(Fmaj7)I know I've told you lies.

(Fmaj7)I'd wipe the cobwebs from my (Am)eyes.

(Em7)Oh, yeah.

(Am)Close your eyes.

(G)Close your eyes.

You gotta (Fmaj7)close your eyes for me.
