D#m   A#sus4 G#sus4  G#
Shut your eyes and think of somewhere
Somewhere cold and caked in snow
By the fire, we break the quiet
Learn to wear each other well

Chorus:
              B                 G#
And when the worrying starts to hurt
         C#                         B
And the world feels like graves of dirt
 B                     G#
Just close your eyes until
          C#
You can imagine this place
Yeah, our secret space, at will

Shut your eyes, I'll spin the big chair
And you'll feel dizzy, light and free
And falling gently on the cushion
You can come and sing to me

Chorus

(Shut your eyes)
(Shut your eyes)
Shut your eyes
Shut your eyes
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)
Shut your eyes and sing to me
(Shut your eyes and sing to me)
