CLOSE YOUR EYES

Transcribed by Emily Arkin


The first half is quite simple, Em and A over and over and over again:
rhythm = _ . . _ . _ _ . . . . .

Em                   A
You can't make it
Em                   A
You can't cry
Em                   A
You can't make it home tonight

blahblahblah
etc. for the rest of the first half
repeat the Em A progression twice after the words end

Ok, here's the second half:

Em (last strum lands on Stop, then no guitar)
Stop

you ruined all my memories

You've ruined all my memories
