[Intro] C G Am, C D Am [Verse 1]

C  G              Am             C          D            Am
Oh lord I must be crazy, settled down and I find nothing new..

C     G                  Am                 C
Older days, they used to matter but I don't care

D                      Am
Cause I got nothin' to lose

[Chorus]

         C                G                   D    Dsus4 D
And if I stare too long, I might not see you right

     Am        C                 G
Over time, the heart goes out of sight

         C                 G                 D    Dsus4 D
And if I stare too long, I might not see you right

          Am              C              G
Close the door, where the heart is out of sight

[Verse 2]

C      G                 Am
Many a dreams across the river

             C           D          Am
But it's too strong for a boy like me, yeah....

C          G                Am
Now you're gone but I still remember

C                   D             Am
Better days as they wash into the sea

[Chorus]

         C                G                   D    Dsus4 D
And if I stare too long, I might not see you right

     Am        C                 G
Over time, the heart goes out of sight

         C                 G                 D    Dsus4 D
And if I stare too long, I might not see you right

          Am              C               G
Close the door, where the heart is out of sight

[Solo] C G D Dsus4 D, Am C G x2 [Verse 3]

C            G                Am
I've got the time but I got no reason

           C     D       Am
I'm broken down, waiting patiently

        C               G                            Am
Now the sun don't shine for me and that's a different season

              C             D          Am
But she comes around one more time for me...

[Chorus]

         C                G                   D    Dsus4 D
And if I stare too long, I think I might go blind

     Am        C                 G
Over time, the heart goes out of sight

         C                 G                 D    Dsus4 D
And if I live too long, I might not treat you right

          Am              C               G
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
