CWe close our Geyes
CWe close our Geyes and dream Amand the world has Fturned around aCgain
FWhen everyGbody is Crunning in the Fbig race and Chaving a good Gtime
Who am I to Amcast a shadow? FWho am I? 
I looked death Gin the face last Amnight, I saw him iFn a mirror 
Cand he simply Gsmiled 
He told me Amnot to worry, Fhe told me Gjust to Ftake my Ctime
CWe close our Geyes  Amand the world has Fturned around aCgain
CWe close our Geyes and dream, Fand another Gyear has come and Cgone
CWe close our Geyes  Amand the world has Fturned around aCgain
CWe close our Geyes and dreamF  G  
FAnd if you Gcome to me, Cand if you Ftouch my Chand, I might just Gslip away
I might just Amdisappear - FWho am I?
And if you Gthink I'm worth it  C  
And if you Fthink it's not too Clate, we might start Gfalling
If we don't Amtry too hard, FWe might start Gfalling in Clove
CWe close our Geyes  Amand the world has Fturned around aCgain
CWe close our Geyes and dream, Fand another Gyear has come and Cgone
CWe close our Geyes  Amand the world has Fturned around aCgain
CWe close our Geyes and dreamF  G  
GWe're on the Chealing Gpath Cwe're on a Groller coaster Fride 
That can Gnever turn Cback 
and if you Glove me Cand if we Freally try  
Cto make the Gseconds count anFd we can Gclose our Ceyes 
CWe close our Geyes  Amand the world has Fturned around aCgain
CWe close our Geyes and dream, Fand another Gyear has come and Cgone
CWe close our Geyes  Amand the world has Fturned around aCgain
