[Guitar tacit]
When I close my eyes
I can see forever
And the leaves on the trees
Are a brilliant green
Cadd9 G Cadd9
My heart hears the sound
Cadd9 G D
Of a dis - tant calling
Am7 D11 [Riff 1]
The wind on my face says to me
Am7 D11
I've got to live my life
C C/B Cadd9 G Cadd9 Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G Cadd9 Cadd9 G D
di - fferently
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9
When I close my eyes
Cadd9 G D
I can see forever
Cadd9 G Em7
And the leaves on the trees
Cadd9 G D
Are a brill-iant green
Cadd9 G Cadd9
My heart hears the sound
Cadd9 G D
Of a dis - tant calling
Am7 D11 [Riff 1]
The wind on my face says to me
Am7 D11
I've got to live my life
C C/B Cadd9 G Cadd9 Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G Cadd9 Cadd9 G D

[Verse]
C Em
I say goodbye to spring
G D
And farewell to summer
C Em D Dsus4 D
Hello to falling leaves
C Em
My life looks small
G D
In the face of change
C Em D Dsus4 D
The wind feels too strong for me
C Em
I say goodbye to safe
G D
Goodbye to certain
C Em D Dsus4 D
Hello to what is new
C Em
It's the best and worst
G D
Of times together
C Em D Dsus4 D
In the storm I forget what is true
[Chorus]
I say okay I don't know
Okay I'm afraid
I'll take it one step at a time
It may take a while
For the fog to burn off
Time be my friend for a while
[Chorus]
[Bridge/solo]
Am7 D11 [Riff 1]

Am7 D11 C C/B Cadd9 G Cadd9 Cadd9 G D Cadd9 G Cadd9 Cadd9 G D
I say goodbye to control
It's such an illusion
Hello to the truth of my need
The promise of presence
Is all that I have now
Sometimes I don't believe
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Cadd9
When I close my eyes
