C
I think I found a fear of mine
                            F
That you might love for no reason
You know I worry
                         C
Only luck brought me to you
C
I'm half awake most of the time
                            F
It's just the timing of the seasons
So you know I worry
                           C
That you're all I have to lose

Chorus:
    Am  G      Am         C       F
And I should change this way of thinking
     Am   G  Am        C        F
That all my fears are facts of life
    G        C     F
But I could die tomorrow
  G        C      F
You'd be close behind

Am G  C  F   Am  G  C  G  F
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
F        C
Close behind

I live my life in years to come
To prepare myself for sorrow
So I won't worry
When I crumble at your feet
It's something sinister to love
Without regard for dear Tomorrow
To search for worry
Is to love without deceit

Chorus

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Close behind

Chorus

So I fill my days with thinking
Though, I'm years from my true time
I could die tomorrow
You'd be close behind
Close behind
