C            G    F G
We close our eyes 
C            G              
We close our eyes and dream   
Am                 F              C G F G
And the world has turned around again 

[Verse 1]
F          G       C              F            
When everybody is running in the big race 
     C             G 
And having a good time 
            Dm              F
Who am I to cast a shadow? Who am I?  

[Verse 2]
F              G                 C 
I looked death in the face last night  
          F            C               G
I saw him in a mirror, and he simply smiled  
           Dm                      
He told me not to worry  
F           G       F       C 
He told me just to take my time 

[Chorus]
C             G
We close our eyes
Am                 F              C
And the world has turned around again 
              G              
We close our eyes and dream 
F            G                 C 
And another year has come and gone 
C             G              
We close our eyes
Am                 F              C
And the world has turned around again 
              G         F G     
We close our eyes and dream

[Verse 3]
F           G 
And if you come to me 
Am          F        C                  
And if you touch my hand  
               G 
I might just slip away 
              Dm         F
I might just disappear. Who am I? 

[Verse 4]
F            G 
And if you think I'm worth it   
Am           F                 C
And if you think it's not too late,  
                G 
we might start falling 
            Dm                        
If we don't try too hard,    
F               G  F       C 
We might start falling in love 

[Chorus]
C             G
We close our eyes
Am                 F              C
And the world has turned around again 
              G              
We close our eyes and dream 
F            G                 C 
And another year has come and gone 
C             G              
We close our eyes
Am                 F              C
And the world has turned around again 
              G         F G     
We close our eyes and dream 

[Bridge]
G             C       G
We're on the healing path  
C           G             F
We're on a rollercoaster ride  
            G          C 
That could never turn back  
            G
And if you love me  
F          G       
And if we really try   
C            G 
To make the seconds count  
Am           F        C 
And we can close our eyes

[Outro]
C             G
We close our eyes
Am                 F              C
And the world has turned around again 
              G              
We close our eyes
F            G                 C 
And another year has come and gone 
C             G
We close our eyes
Am                 F              C
And the world has turned around again 
              G         F G     
We close our eyes and dream 
C             G
We close our eyes
Am                 F      F/E  F/D C
And the world has turned around a-gain
