Oingo Boingo - We Close Our Eyes

      *One of the most beautiful songs Danny Elfman ever wrote.



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.
