Your slender fingers closing into fists (Intro again,
then Chorus)

Don~Rt speak; words come out your eyes
You~Rre wet with this nightmare
Like thorns you hold these secrets to your breast
Your slender fingers closing into fists

Trace your bruise like a guilty streak
Hold the pain; you~Rre a connoisseur
You think you have no other gift to give
But we have so much left to live

         D                            A
We don~Rt need a lot of money, we~Rll be sleeping on the
beach
        G
Keeping oceans within reach
                               D
Whatever private oceans we can conjure up for free
       D                                    A
I will stumble there with you and you~Rll be laughing
close with me
       G
Trying not to make a scene, etcetera, whatever,
        D                                       G
D      Em
I guess all I really mean is we~Rre gonna be all right.
                        G      D      Em
Yeah we~Rre gonna be all right.
                          G      D      Em
You can close your eyes tonight
                          G      D      Em
~QCause we~Rre gonna be all right.

(Verse 3 is like Verse 2, with the G bass note on the
last line)

So come on now, I can almost see
That place on a distant shore
And courage is a weapon we must use
To find some life you can~Rt refuse

We don~Rt need a lot of money, we~Rll be sleeping on the
beach
Keeping oceans within reach
Whatever private oceans we can conjure up for free
I will stumble there with you and you~Rll be laughing
close with me
Trying not to make a scene, etcetera, whatever, I
guess all I really mean
Is we~Rre gonna be all right.
Yeah we~Rre gonna be all right.
You can close your eyes tonight
~QCause we~Rre gonna be all right.

           D/F#
Close your eyes
