Intro:  C G Am F C
 
C            G
We close our eyes
C            G              Am                F              C
We close our eyes and dream and the world has turned around again
 
 
 
F         G       C              F            C             G
When everybody is running in the big race and having a good time
 
            Am             F
Who am I to cast a shadow? Who am I? 
 
               G                Am                F
I looked death in the face last night, I saw him in a mirror 
 
C             G
and he simply smiled 
 
           Am            F          G       F       C
He told me not to worry, he told me just to take my time
 
 
 
C            G     Am                F              C
We close our eyes  and the world has turned around again
 
C            G               F           G                 C
We close our eyes and dream, and another year has come and gone
 
C            G     Am                F              C
We close our eyes  and the world has turned around again
 
C            G              F           G
We close our eyes and dream
 
 
 
F          G           C          F        C                  G
And if you come to me, and if you touch my hand, I might just slip away
 
             Am          F
I might just disappear - Who am I?
 
           G                  C
And if you think I'm worth it  
 
           F                  C                    G
And if you think it's not too late, we might start falling
 
            Am            F              G          C
If we don't try too hard, We might start falling in love
 
 
 
C            G     Am                F              C
We close our eyes  and the world has turned around again
 
C            G               F           G                 C
We close our eyes and dream, and another year has come and gone
 
C            G     Am                F              C
We close our eyes  and the world has turned around again
 
C            G              F           G
We close our eyes and dream
 
 
 
 
G            C       G    C          G              F
We're on the healing path we're on a roller coaster ride 
 
         G          C
That can never turn back 
 
           G       C         F
and if you love me and if we really try  
 
C           G               F        G         C
to make the seconds count and we can close our eyes 
 
 
 
C            G     Am                F              C
We close our eyes  and the world has turned around again
 
C            G               F           G                 C
We close our eyes and dream, and another year has come and gone
 
C            G     Am                F              C
We close our eyes  and the world has turned around again
 
C            G              F           G
We close our eyes and dream
 
C            G     Am                F       G      C
We close our eyes  and the world has turned around again.

I don't know if it is perfect or not but thank you for giving this song a tab. I played through it and it sounds good enough for me. Man is it beautiful.

the "F" and "G" should be switched in the chorus. If you listen the accordion line, you can hear the progression.

On the line “I looked death in the face last night,” the correct chord is C and not Am.
