Verse 1:
G+G A minorAm
i tried my best to treat her right and let her know i loved her when i told her
G+G A minorAm
but my words she put out of sight why do they always want a man much colder
G+G A minorAm
even when i'd hold her tight she'd look at me like all i did was scold her
G+G A minorAm
and all i could conclude from looking in her eyes was that i didn't know her
Chorus:
C majorC G+G D MajorD A minorAm
so close your eyes darling we don't need them if without them we feel warmer
C majorC G+G D MajorD A minorAm
and if you open up your heart you'll feel love hate only makes us older
C majorC
was what i told her
Verse 2:
G+G A minorAm
let the sky and sea and trees ease your anxious mind and all your worries
G+G A minorAm
you'll notice that the natural tides of time make change but never in a hurry
G+G A minorAm
like poetry that's gone astray you'll make it anyway hurt souls go seeking
G+G
but only if your gift is true and made with every ounce of you
A minorAm
that's strong and yours and beautiful and working
Chorus:
C majorC G+G D MajorD A minorAm
so close your pretty eyes darling you don't need them nothing goes unnoticed

though pain makes greed it's a bust true love never takes what it's not given

so even when she was unfair i didn't care cuz i was thinking bigger
