Blue eyes, never gonna leave me,
Am G Em F
My true prize is laughter in this house,
Am G Em F
Some nights barely even breathing,
Am G Em F
Id do anything to keep the cold out.
Am G Em F
Will I stay above the water,

And will I go another round,
Am G Em F
These eyes here amongst the garden,
Am G Em F
Im getting tired of getting knocked down.
