Dont Close Your Eyes Chords

G                C   D             G  Bm  Em
I know you loved him, a long time ago
                 Am    D                     G    C    G
Even now in your mind, you still want him I know
                  C   D                   G   Bm   Em
But Darlin' this time, let your memories die
                   Am     D                  C   G
When you hold me tonight, don't close your eyes

(CHORUS)
G                 C               D
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
                   G      Bm       Em
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
             Am                  D
Darlin' just once let yesterday go
                      G         Bm          Em
And you'll find more love than you'll ever know
              Am                          D
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
                       C   G
And don't close your eyes

(GUITAR INTERLUDE)

G                  C   D                     G  Bm   Em
Maybe I've been a fool, holdin' on all this time
                    Am  D                       G                
Lyin' here in your arms, knowin' he's in your mind
                  C    D                  G   Bm   Em
But Darlin' this time, let your memories die
                    C    D                  C    G
When you love me tonight, don't close your eyes

Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy

Darlin' just once let yesterday go
                      G         Bm          Em
And you'll find more love than you'll ever know
              Am                          D
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes
