Verse 1: Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D The house, it feels so empty Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D 'Cause now I live alone Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D The kid next door keeps asking me where you've gone Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 And I tell him, I tell him you've gone home Chorus: D Cmaj7 But when I close my eyes D Em You're standing there, in front of me Gmaj7 Cmaj7 When I close my eyes D Em It's almost like it used to be Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em Then I realise you're just a ghost Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em Maybe at most, a fragment of my mind Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em When I close my eyes Verse 2: Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D The days can be so lonely Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D So I stay out all night Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D My friends, they take it slowly, hmm Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 I tell 'em that I'll try Chorus: D Cmaj7 But when I close my eyes D Em You're standing there, in front of me Gmaj7 Cmaj7 When I close my eyes D Em It's almost like it used to be Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em Then I realise you're just a ghost Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em Maybe at most, a fragment of my mind Gmaj7 Am When I close my eyes Bridge: Am Every thought I think D It cuts me like a knife Em I just wanna bring D Bring me back to life Am Tonight, the sun will set D Tomorrow, when we'll rise Em All that I've got left Chorus: D Cmaj7 Is when I close my eyes D Em You're standing there, in front of me Gmaj7 Cmaj7 When I close my eyes D Em It's almost like it used to be Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em Then I realise you're just a ghost Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em Maybe at most, a fragment of my mind Outro: Gmaj7 Cmaj7 When I close my eyes D Em When I close my eyes Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em When I close my eyes This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
