Intro Riff x1
[G]I close my eyes when I get too sad.
[D5]I think thoughts that I know are bad.
[C5]Close my eyes and I count to ten.
[D5]Hope it’s over when I open them.
[G]I want the things that I had before,
[D5]Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door.
[C5]I wish I could count to ten,
[D5]make everything be wonderful again.
[G]Hope my Mom and I hope my Dad
[D5]figure out why they get so mad.
[C5]Hear them scream, hear them fight.
[D5]They say bad words that make me want to cry.
[G]I close my eyes when I go to bed
[D5]and I dream of angels that make me smile.
[C5]I feel better when I hear them say,
[D5]"Everything will be wonderful some day."
