Cover Your Eyes

C
Against what you've learned

You can trust what you read
       Fm
And believe every word
                               C
From a language we no longer speak


Life is a gift
                              Fm
Your only concern: "is there life after this"
                            C
Am I worthy of earning my wings
                                                        Fm
Is there room on the list for someone who needs to see proof you exist

                            C
It's just not that easy for me
      Fm
It's just not that easy
C#
Something's still missing
                              G#
You promised that it would materialize

      C#
It's there if you listen
                            G#
I swear that I must not be hearing you right

      C#                                             G#
With god as my witness, I've made it my business to be on his side
                            C#
And somehow I'll never be sure
                      G#
But I'll keep asking why
                                  C#     D#            G#
Because you can't hide from the world by covering your eyes

 C
Always on trial
                          Fm
Hoping the verdict will make this worthwhile
                                  C
Can someone please tell me the score
                                                   Fm
I'll be on the fence until you stand up and take credit for this

                              C
The truth is, I'd rather not know
                                                     Fm
I'll pray that the rest will make up for all of the days that I've missed
                        C
It won't be so easy for me
       Fm
It's just not that easy

With god as my witness, like nobody's business, you know that I've tried
                            C#
And somehow I'll never be sure

                      G#
