[Verse 1]
F            Bb                      Dm
I'm tired of waiting for a better day
F            Bb                      Dm
But I'm scared and I'm lazy and nothing's gonna change
F            Bb                      Dm
The blood's still fresh on the ground
F            Bb                      Dm
But I'm far and I'm safe and I will not make a sound
F            Bb                      Dm
Confession to a lesser crime
F            Bb                      Dm
But I'll never do the time 'Cause I was studying what to say
F            Bb                      Dm
Something is calling in the night
F            Bb                   C
But I'm keeping still beside the light
 
[Prechorus]
C      Dm           Bb                   C
I know you're gonna come around and stand by me
C                 Dm                Gm
But I'm tired of standing while the world's dissolving
 
[Chorus]
F              Bb             Dm
Close my eyes, close my eyes, close my eyes and it's almost alright
F          Bb         Dm
If you can understand then come in close and hold me tighter
F           Bb          Dm
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind I want to choose the right
F                 Bb             Dm
But you know it's hard enough to breathe
 
[Verse 2]
F            Bb                      Dm
The photograph is always new
F            Bb                      Dm
But I seen that same headline and I got to dance to keep from crying
F            Bb                      Dm
My head is tired, my eyes are weak
F            Bb                 C
My heart is saying that I can't speak
 
[Prechorus]
C      Dm           Bb                   C
I know you're gonna come around and stand by me
C                 Dm                Gm
But I'm tired of standing while the world's dissolving
 
[Chorus]
F              Bb             Dm
Close my eyes, close my eyes, close my eyes and it's almost alright
F            Bb                      Dm
If you can understand then come in close and hold me tighter
F              Bb             Dm
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind I want to choose the right
F            Bb                      Dm
But you know it's hard enough to breathe

[Chorus]
F              Bb             Dm
Close my eyes, close my eyes, close my eyes and it's almost alright
F            Bb                      Dm
If you can understand then come in close and hold me tighter
F              Bb             Dm
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind I want to choose the right
F            Bb                      Dm
But you know it's hard enough to breathe
 
[Chorus without strumming]
F          Bb         Dm
Close my eyes, close my eyes, close my eyes and it's almost alright
F          Bb         Dm
If you can understand then come in close and hold me tighter
F          Bb         Dm
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind I want to choose the right
