Mariah Carey – Close My Eyes (Ukulele)

G               A
I was way - ward child

           G
With the weight of the world

      A
That I held deep inside

G              A
Life was a winding road

          G
And I learned many things

          A
Little ones shouldn't know

         G            A
But I closed my eyes

            G
Steadied my feet on the ground

              A
Raised my head to the sky

                G            A
And though time's rolled by

          G
Still I feel like that child

        A
As I look at the moon

G
Maybe I grew up

    A
A little too soon

G                A
Funny how one can learn

          G
To grow numb to the madness

        A
And block it away

G                A
I left the worst unsaid

          G
Let it all dissipate

          A
And I try to forget

       G                     A
As I closed my eyes

            G
Steadied my feet on the ground

              A
Raised my head to the sky

                G            A
And though time's rolled by

          G
Still I feel like that child

        A
As I look at the moon

G
Maybe I grew up

    A
A little too soon

F                G
Nearing the edge

A
Obvious I almost

G
Fell right over

A           G
A part of me

       A
Will never be quite able

G                 A
To feel stable

             G                  A
That woman-child falling inside

G                     A
Was on the verge of fading

G
Thankfully I

                A
Woke up in time

G            A
Guardian angel I

       G
Sail away on an ocean

         A
With you by my side

G         A
Orange clouds roll by

         G
They burn into your image

        A
And you're still alive

G            A
But I closed my eyes

            G
Steadied my feet on the ground

              A
Raised my head to the sky

                G            A
And though time's rolled by

          G
Still I feel like that child

        A
As I look at the moon

G
Maybe I grew up

    A
A little too soon
