If I Close My Eyes Forever – Lita Ford

[Am] Baby 
I get so scared inside, and I [G] don't really understand 
Is it [F] love that's on my mind, or is it [Am] fantasy 
 
[Am] Heaven 
Is in the palm of my hand, and[G] it's waiting here for you 
What am [F] I supposed to do with a [Am] childhood tragedy 
 
(Chorus) 
[F] …If I close my eyes [Am] forever 
[F] …Will it all remain [Am] unchanged 
[F] …If I close my eyes [Am] forever 
[F] …Will it all remain the [Am] same… 
 
[Am] Sometimes 
It's hard to hold on 
So hard to [G] hold on to my dreams 
It isn't [F] always what is seems 
When your face to [Am] face with me 
You're like a dagger 
And stick me in the heart[G
]  
And taste the blood from my blade 
And [F] when we sleep, would you shelter me 
In your [Am] warm and darkened grave 
 
(Chorus Repeat) 
[F] Will you ever take me 
No, I just can't take the [Am] pain 
[F] But would you ever trust me 
No, I'll never feel the [Am] same…Ohh… 
 
[F] I know I've been so hard[Am] to you 
[F] I know I've told you [Am] lies 
[F] If I could have just [Am] one more wish 
[F] I'd wipe the cobwebs from [Am] my eyes 
 
(Chorus Repeat) 
 
[Am] Close your eyes 
[G] Close your eyes 
[F] You gotta close you eyes [Am] for me
