Close My Eyes:

*AJ:

My feet on the ground

Bb F

But I can't run

C Gm

Drowning the noise inside my head

Bb F

Who is this man that I've become

C Gm

It's killing me to see myself

Bb F

How do you learn how to forgive

C Gm

When deep down inside you can't forget

C Gm

With all that I regret

C Gm Dm F

I pray for the first time in a long time

C Gm F

The lies fade away

*Nick And Howie:

Finally I'm waking up

I feel like I can let you go

Say everything I wanted to say

I'm okay with being alone

Chorus:

C Bb

When I close my eyes

C Bb

When I close my eyes

*AJ:

I'm alive

I never was sure

Bb F

But now I am

C Gm

This was the choice I had to make

Bb F

Maybe I'll never understand

C Gm

Sometimes you gotta make mistakes

*Nick and Howie:

Finally I'm waking up

I feel like I can let you go

Say everything I wanted to say

I'm okay with being alone

Finally I'm facing up

I feel like I can let it show

I know I can walk away

I'm okay with being alone

Chorus:

C Bb

When I close my eyes

(AJ: close my eyes, close my eyes)

C Bb

When I close my eyes

(AJ: close my eyes, close my eyes)

C Bb

When I close my eyes

(AJ: How do you know where to go

when you're going?)

When I close my eyes

you know when it's over?)

I see for the first time in a long time

Believe me when I say

* Nick and Howie:

Finally I'm waking up

I'm okay with being alone

Finally I'm facing up

I feel like I can let it show

I know I can walk away

I'm okay with being alone

Chorus:

When I close my eyes

(AJ: close my eyes, close my eyes)
