[Intro]

F                 Am
  Just close your eyes
               Bb
Soon we'll be home
                         F
Fall asleep to the radio
               Am
Strangers pass by
               Bb
Red, green and gold
                                     F
I wonder what they're all waiting for

[First Part]

I was just a kid

Dreams were looking big
                       Am
And then I had to grow up

No one ever says
                                     Bb
All the love you give might not be enough

Broke my heart in two a couple times
  Bb7M              F
Before it hurt too much

I was such a fool

Didn't know the rules
                  A7
Of playing make believe

Didn't know that getting old
                       Bb
Would come and meet me

[Chorus]

Wishing on a star
               G7
Waiting on a car

To take me away
    Gm            F
And my mom would say
                 Am
"Just close your eyes
               Bb
Soon we'll be home
                         F
Fall asleep to the radio"
               Am
Strangers pass by
                Bb
Red, green and gold
                                      Dm
I wonder what they’re all waiting for
                Am   Bb
Just close your eyes
                Bbm  F
Just close your eyes
   Am    Bb   F
Ahhhh ahhhhhh

[Bridge]

Living day to day

Weeks become the same
                Am
Everything’s a blur

What’s it gonna take?

What’s the final say?
             Bb
Is this all worth it?

[Chorus]

Wishing on a star
              G7
Waiting on a car
            Gm
To take me away
    G             F
And my mom would say
                  Am
"Just close your eyes
               Bb
Soon we'll be home
                         F
Fall asleep to the radio"
               Am
Strangers pass by
                Bb
Red, green and gold
                                      Dm
I wonder what they’re all waiting for
                Am   Bb
Just close your eyes
                Bbm  F
Just close your eyes

[Outro]

 Am    Bb     F
Ahhhh ahhhhhh
   Am    Bb   F
Ahhhh ahhhhhh

   Am    Bb   F
Ahhhh ahhhhhh
   Am    Bb
Ahhhh ahhhhhh
