G
I close my eyes when I get too sad.
D5
I think thoughts that I know are bad.
C5
Close my eyes and I count to ten.
D5
Hope it’s over when I open them.
G
I want the things that I had before,
D5
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door.
C5
I wish I could count to ten,
D5
make everything be wonderful again.
G
Hope my Mom and I hope my Dad
D5
figure out why they get so mad.
C5
Hear them scream, hear them fight.
D5
They say bad words that make me want to cry.
G
I close my eyes when I go to bed
D5
and I dream of angels that make me smile.
C5
I feel better when I hear them say,
D5
"Everything will be wonderful some day."

G5 E5
Go to school and I run and play.
D5 E5
I tell the kids that it’s all O.K.
C5 E5
I have to laugh so my friends don’t know,
D5 E5
when the bell rings I just don’t wanna go home.
G5 E5
I go to my room and I close my eyes,
D5 E5
I make believe that I have a new life.
C5 E5
I do believe you when you say,
D5 E5
"Everything will be wonderful someday."
