  [Guitar tacit]

  When I close my eyes

  I can see forever

  And the leaves on the trees

  Are a brilliant green

           Cadd9 G   Cadd9

  My heart hears the sound

       Cadd9 G    D

  Of a dis - tant calling

      Am7        D11          [Riff 1]

  The wind on my face says to me

              Am7     D11

  I've got to live my life

    C  C/B      Cadd9 G Cadd9  Cadd9 G D  Cadd9 G Cadd9  Cadd9 G D

    di - fferently

  

  

  [Chorus]

         Cadd9 G  Cadd9

  When I close my eyes

        Cadd9 G  D

  I can see   forever

          Cadd9  G      Em7

  And the leaves on the trees

        Cadd9 G    D

  Are a brill-iant green

           Cadd9 G   Cadd9

  My heart hears the sound

       Cadd9 G    D

  Of a dis - tant calling

      Am7        D11          [Riff 1]

  The wind on my face says to me

              Am7     D11

  I've got to live my life

    C  C/B      Cadd9 G Cadd9  Cadd9 G D  Cadd9 G Cadd9  Cadd9 G D

    di - fferently

  

  

  [Verse]

            C      Em

  I say goodbye to spring

          G       D

  And farewell to summer

     C     Em      D      Dsus4 D

  Hello to falling leaves

     C          Em

  My life looks small

         G       D

  In the face of change

      C          Em             D  Dsus4 D

  The wind feels too strong for me

  

            C      Em

  I say goodbye to safe

      G      D

  Goodbye to certain

     C     Em      D   Dsus4 D

  Hello to what is new

           C        Em

  It's the best and worst

     G     D

  Of times together

         C          Em          D    Dsus4 D

  In the storm I forget what is true

  

  [Chorus]

  

  I say okay I don't know

  Okay I'm afraid

  I'll take it one step at a time

  It may take a while

  For the fog to burn off

  Time be my friend for a while

  

  [Chorus]

  [Bridge/solo]

    Am7 D11 [Riff 1]

    Am7 D11 [Riff 1]

    Am7 D11 C C/B  Cadd9 G Cadd9  Cadd9 G D  Cadd9 G Cadd9  Cadd9 G D

  

  I say goodbye to control

  It's such an illusion

  Hello to the truth of my need

  The promise of presence

  Is all that I have now

  Sometimes I don't believe

  

  [Chorus]

  

         Cadd9 G  Cadd9

  When I close my eyes
