[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
There are [Am]fac es, there are smiles,
so many teeth, too many arms and legs
And eyes and flashing buttons all a[G]round me
I'm a- [Am]watching, I'm a-breathing,
I'm a- pushing, I'm a-wishing
That these walls would not be talking
quite so [G]loudly
I have [F]burnt down once before,
I've pulled my[G]self up from the floor
And I am [F]looking for a reason
to stay [G]standing
But some[Am]times it's just too much,
it's not enough, it's something else
It's so much bigger than my head,
it's too de[G]manding

[Pre-chorus 1]
[F]Sometimes the [G]fastest way to get there
is to go [Am]slow
And [F]sometimes if you [G]wanna hold on
you got to let [Am]go

[Chorus 1]
I'm gonna [G]close my [Am]eyes
And [G]count [F]to [Am]ten
I'm gonna [G]close my [Am]eyes
[G]And when I o p[F]en them again[E]
[G]Everything will make [F]sense to me then

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
I have [Am]met so many people,
we've exchanged so many words
We've said it all and we've said nothing
but it's [G]changed us
I have [Am]known a lot of men,
some were lovers, some were friends
But all together,
were they merely passing [G]strangers?
They'll con[F]trol you with their silence,
they'll con[G]trol you with their words
And you'll con[F]trol them
with your body's coded [G]signals
In the [Am]wild, entangled gardens
of our insecurities
We lose our heads
into each other's hidden [G]pitfalls

[Pre-chorus 2]
[F]Sometimes the [G]fastest way to get there
is to go [Am]slow
And [F]sometimes if you [G]wanna hold on
you got to let [Am]go

[Chorus 2]
I'm gonna [G]close my [Am]eyes
And [G]count [F]to [Am]ten
I'm gonna [G]close my [Am]eyes
[G]And when I o p[F]en them again[E]
[G]Everything will make [F]sense to me then

[Interlude 2]
[F][G][Am][Am]
[F][G][Am][Am]
[F][G][Am][Am]
[F][G][Am][Am]

[Pre-chorus 3]
[F]Sometimes the [G]fastest way to get there
is to go [Am]slow
Yeah, and [F]sometimes if you [G]wanna hold on
you have to let [Am]go

[Chorus 3]
I'm gonna [G]close my [Am]eyes
And [G]count [F]to [Am]ten
I'm gonna [G]close my [Am]eyes
[G]And when I o p[F]en them again[E]
[G]Everything will make [F]sense to me then
