Cover Your Eyes

C 
Against what you've learned 

You can trust what you read 
       Fm 
And believe every word 
                               C 
From a language we no longer speak 


Life is a gift 
                              Fm 
Your only concern: "is there life after this" 
                            C 
Am I worthy of earning my wings 
                                                        Fm 
Is there room on the list for someone who needs to see proof you exist 

                            C 
It's just not that easy for me 
      Fm 
It's just not that easy 
C# 
Something's still missing 
                              G# 
You promised that it would materialize 

      C# 
It's there if you listen 
                            G# 
I swear that I must not be hearing you right 

      C#                                             G# 
With god as my witness, I've made it my business to be on his side 
                            C# 
And somehow I'll never be sure 
                      G# 
But I'll keep asking why 
                                  C#     D#            G# 
Because you can't hide from the world by covering your eyes 

 C 
Always on trial 
                          Fm 
Hoping the verdict will make this worthwhile 
                                  C 
Can someone please tell me the score 
                                                   Fm 
I'll be on the fence until you stand up and take credit for this 

                              C 
The truth is, I'd rather not know 
                                                     Fm 
I'll pray that the rest will make up for all of the days that I've missed 
                        C 
It won't be so easy for me 
       Fm 
It's just not that easy

       C#                                             G# 
With god as my witness, like nobody's business, you know that I've tried 
                            C# 
And somehow I'll never be sure 

                      G# 
But I'll keep asking why 
                                   C#    D#             G#
