Close My Eyes Chords & Lyrics by Mariah Carey
Close My Eyes
guitar chords lyrics
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
A G x4
