I close my eyes and count to ten    (video)    (midi)

 

    Am - Dm - E    - Am - G - F - E

 

       Dm                             Am

1. It isn't the way that you look,

              Dm                             Am

    and it isn't the way that you talk,

        F                                   Dm

    it isn't the things that you say or do

                      E                  - Am

    make me want you so.

 

           Dm                              Am

2. It is nothing to do with the wine,

                Dm                                Am

    or the music that's flooding my mind.

           Dm                             F

    But never before have I been so sure,

                      E                                           E7

    you're the someone I dreamed I would find.

 

                 A                           D                      E                      A

    It's the way you make me feel the moment I am close to you,

                                   D                       E                       C#

    it's a feeling so unreal, somehow I can't believe it's true.

            F#m                            C#            D                                 A

    The pounding I feel in my heart, the hoping that we'll never part,

       Bb                            F       G                  A

    I can't believe this is really happening to me.

 

Am                 C                           F                        

    I close my eyes and count to ten,

                  Dm               E             Am

and when I open them you're still here,

                   C                         F                        

I close my eyes and count again,

             Dm                E             Am

I can't believe it, but you're still here.

 

                     Dm                          Am

3. We were strangers a moment ago,

              Dm                                       Am

    with a few dreams but nothing to show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

            Dm                                   F         

    The world was a place with a frown on its face,

                 E                                    E7

    and tomorrow was just, I don't know.

 

                 A                            D                       E                     A

   But the way you make me feel, the moment I am close to you,

                     A                      D                        E                       C#

    makes today seem so unreal, somehow I can't believe it's true.

          F#m                              C#            D                                 A

    Tomorrow will you still be here?  Tomorrow will come, but I fear,

              Bb                            F        G           A

    that what is happening to me, is only a dream.

 

Am                 C                           F                        

    I close my eyes and count to ten,

                  Dm               E             Am

and when I open them you're still here,

                   C                         F                        

I close my eyes and count again,

             Dm                E             Am

I can't believe it, but you're still here.
