Close My Eyes Ukulele Chords

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
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

Maybe I grew up

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
