[Intro] C G Am, C D Am

Verse 1

Oh lord I must be crazy, settled down and I find nothing new..
Older days, they used to matter but I don't care
Cause I got nothin' to lose

Chorus

And if I stare too long, I might not see you right  
Over time, the heart goes out of sight
And if I stare too long, I might not see you right  
Close the door, where the heart is out of sight

Verse 2

Many a dreams across the river
But it's too strong for a boy like me, yeah....
Now you're gone but I still remember
Better days as they wash into the sea

Chorus

And if I stare too long, I might not see you right  
Over time, the heart goes out of sight
And if I stare too long, I might not see you right  
Close the door, where the heart is out of sight
[Solo] C G D Dsus4 D, Am C G x2

Verse 3

I've got the time but I got no reason
I'm broken down, waiting patiently
Now the sun don't shine for me and that's a different season
But she comes around one more time for me...

Chorus

And if I stare too long, I think I might go blind  
Over time, the heart goes out of sight
And if I live too long, I might not treat you right 
Close the door, now you're shining way too bright
Shine on.....
[Solo] C G D Dsus4 D, Am C G x2
The song ends on the chords C, G, D
