Intro: F
 
                Am
Just close your eyes
               Bb
Soon we'll be home
                          F
Fall asleep to the radio
               Am
Strangers pass by
               Bb
Red, green and gold
                                      F
I wonder what they're all waiting for
 
Verse:
 
I was just a kid
                                               Am
Dreams were looking big and then I had to grow up
 
No one ever says
                                     Bb
All the love you give might not be enough
 
Broke my heart in two a couple times
  Bbmaj7            F
Before it hurt too much
 
I was such a fool
                                        A7
Didn't know the rules of playing make believe
                                                    Bb
Didn't know that getting old would come and meet me
 
Chorus:
 
Wishing on a star
               G
Waiting on a car
 
To take me away
    Gm            F
And my mom would say
                 Am
"Just close your eyes
               Bb
Soon we'll be home
                           F
Fall asleep to the radio"
               Am
Strangers pass by
                Bb
Red, green and gold
                                       Dm
I wonder what they’re all waiting for
                Am    Bb
Just close your eyes
                Bbm   F
Just close your eyes
   Am    Bb    F
ahhhh ahhhhhh
 
Bridge:
 
Living day to day
 
Weeks become the same
                Am
Everything’s a blur
 
What’s it gonna take?
 
What’s the final say?
             Bb
Is this all worth it?
 
Chorus:
 
Wishing on a star
              G
Waiting on a car
            Gm
To take me away
    G             F
And my mom would say
                  Am
"Just close your eyes
               Bb
Soon we'll be home
                           F
Fall asleep to the radio"
               Am
Strangers pass by
                Bb
Red, green and gold
                                       Dm
I wonder what they’re all waiting for
                Am    Bb
Just close your eyes
                Bbm   F
Just close your eyes
 
 Am    Bb      F
ahhhh ahhhhhh
   Am    Bb    F
ahhhh ahhhhhh
 
   Am    Bb    F
ahhhh ahhhhhh
   Am    Bb
