Close My Eyes

The Slackers


Tom: F

Intro - F

Am Bb C F
When I said that ain’t my style
I only waited for a while
F Gm
When it finally came along
Bb C F
I closed my eyes and it was gone

F Am Bb C F
So fee free; go steal and rob
Revolution ain’t my job
F Gm Bb C F
And if I sing your happy song
Please don’t tell me I am wrong

F C
Close my eyes and I am gone
(close my eyes and i am gone)
F C
Close my eyes and I am gone
(close my eyes)
F C Dm F
And if I stare at the sun
I find there’s only one
Bb C F
Close my eyes and I am gone

F Am Bb C F
So when I said that it was you
You knew I meant it from the heart
F Gm Bb C F
Such a shame then when we grew
They say you didn’t even start

F Am Bb C F
So says I like your smile
Only saw it for a while
F Gm Bb C F
Though you swore it would stay long
I closed my eyes and it was gone

F C
Close my eyes and I am gone
(close my eyes and i am gone)
F C
Close my eyes and I am gone
(close my eyes)
F C Dm F
And if I stare at the sun
I find there’s only one
Bb C F
Close my eyes and I am gone

E|------| Horn Solo------- (like a verse and a chorus with no singing)
F Am Bb C F, F Gm 
C F, F C F C Dm C 
F C F

F Am Bb C F
It’s a warmer day when I collide
It’s on the faithful day I cried
F Gm Bb C F
Pray I’d somehow slip away
And slip into another day

F C
Close my eyes and I am gone
(close my eyes and i am gone)
F C
Close my eyes and I am gone
(close my eyes)
F C Dm F
And if I stare at the sun
I find there’s only one
Bb C F
Close my eyes and I am gone

F C Dm F
And if I stare at the sun
I find there’s only one
Bb C F
Close my eyes and I am gone

F C Dm F
And if I stare at the sun
I find there’s only one
Bb C F
Close my eyes and I am gone
