Close Your Eyes

F#m        A     A                  C#m
Close your eyes, the children are asleep,
C#m                   Bm       F#7
the night will surely keep, my Queen
A          C#m   C#m                   Bm
Close your eyes, to tides that run too deep,
Bm                    A       G#
I know sometimes you weep, unseen
F#m         A     A                  C#m
While you dream, the treason and the fear,
C#m               Bm        F#7
will all but disappear, subside
A           C#m   C#m                      Bm
Close your eyes, the evening is still and clear,
A                    Bm     F#7
the fight is nowhere near tonight

[Verse]
F#m         A    A                 C#m
Close your eyes, deny them how you feel,
C#m                   Bm           F#7
unlock your chains and heal your heart
A           C#m  C#m               Bm
Close your eyes, remember love was real,
Bm                      A         G#
for memories they can’t steal or guard
F#m        A     A                      C#m
While you sleep, though death may pass you by
C#m              Bm         F#7
he’ll never slip inside unseen
A         C#m      C#m               Bm
Dry your eyes, and hold your head up high,
A                   Bm        F#7
they wouldn’t dare defy their Queen

        F#m
Choir : When the demons appear
A      Bm       C#m    Bm

we’ll run,
       F#
we’ll hide
F#m      A            A        C#m          F#m
Try, to sleep, don’t cry, just sleep, don’t think,
          A                A         C#m
don’t be sorry, don’t feel sad I know how worried you
              F#m   A
are for your son
A     C#m      F#m    A
He’ll be just fine
         A    F#7

C#m                  Bm              F#7
you’ll hear the churchbells ring, my Queen
A           C#m      C#m                 Bm
Close your eyes, and let your heart take wing,
A                      Bm        F#7
you’ll hear the angels sing, be free
