Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D
The house, it feels so empty
Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D
'Cause now I live alone
Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D
The kid next door keeps asking me where you've gone
Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7
And I tell him, I tell him you've gone home
[Chorus]
D Cmaj7
But when I close my eyes
D Em
You're standing there, in front of me
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
When I close my eyes
D Em
It's almost like it used to be
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em
Then I realise you're just a ghost
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em
Maybe at most, a fragment of my mind
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em
When I close my eyes

The days can be so lonely
Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D
So I stay out all night
Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D
My friends, they take it slowly, hmm
Em Gmaj7 Cmaj7
I tell 'em that I'll try
[Chorus]
D Cmaj7
But when I close my eyes
D Em
You're standing there, in front of me
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
When I close my eyes

It's almost like it used to be
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em
Then I realise you're just a ghost

Maybe at most, a fragment of my mind
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em
When I close my eyes

Am
Every thought I think
D
It cuts me like a knife
Em
I just wanna bring
D
Bring me back to life
Am
Tonight, the sun will set
D
Tomorrow, when we'll rise
Em
All that I've got left
[Chorus]
D Cmaj7
Is when I close my eyes
D Em
You're standing there, in front of me
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
When I close my eyes
D Em
It's almost like it used to be
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em
Then I realise you're just a ghost
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em
Maybe at most, a fragment of my mind
[Outro]
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em
When I close my eyes
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em
When I close my eyes
Gmaj7 Cmaj7 D Em
When I close my eyes
