Mariah Carey - Close My Eyes

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

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 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
