Am Bb C F
When I said that ain’t my style
I only waited for a while
F Gm
When it finally came along
Bb C F
I closed my eyes and it was gone

F C
Close my eyes and I am gone
(close my eyes)
Dm C Am F
And if I stare at the sun

Close my eyes and I am gone

Close my eyes and I am gone
(close my eyes and i am gone)
F C
Close my eyes and I am gone
(close my eyes)
Dm C Am F
And if I stare at the sun
I find there’s only one
C F
Close my eyes and I am gone
Dm C Am F
Well if I stare at the sun
I find there’s only one
