      C#
I was drivin'
                             F#
Through your neighborhood at night
                       C#
And I saw you by your window
                     F#
And you ran to me outside
                           A#m      G#
And I watched you put your suitcase in my car
           F#
You smiled back at me
F#                                      A#m
You said "The hardest love is worth the fall" (Mm)
G#                          F#
"But your fall is worth the fee"

Chorus:
                             C#
Do you know it ain't hard to love you?
                             F#
You're not afraid of who you are
                          C#
I stopped lookin' for the answers
                   F#
'Cause you gave me all your love
            A#m
But, oh, my girl
                     G#
Won't you close your eyes?
            F#
You've got work in the mornin'
         A#m
And I, I, I
     G#                F#
Need you to close your eyes

And I remember
We were laying on the floor
When the doctor said
They hadn't seen somethin' like this before (Mm)
And I held you tight
And you looked in my eyes and said "Easy come
But I'm scared till you go"
You're not alone
That darkness has got to get through me

Chorus:
Do you know it ain't hard to love you?
You're not afraid of who you are
I stopped lookin' for the answers
'Cause you gave me all of your love
But, oh, my girl
Won't you close your eyes?
You've got work in the mornin'
And I, I, I
Need you to close your eyes

             G#             A#m          F#
'Cause all I needed was one year of your light (Oh, oh-oh)
                G#                A#m           C#
Do you know you saved me when you came into my life?
F#       G#                     A#m             F#
We ain't goin' nowhere till the sun goes down (Mm-mm-mm)
        G#                A#m              F#
I'm not leavin', I still see you in the clouds
           G#     A#m      F#
And oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh (Oh, oh-oh)
           G#     A#m      F#
And oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

It was never hard to love you
You weren't afraid of who you were
I stopped looking for the answers
'Cause you gave me all your love
But, oh, my girl
Won't you close your eyes?
