Green Eyes

INTRO: Am  C  G  C ~ ~ Am  F  C  G  Am

                         C
Every night we light the candle
     G                 C    ~ ~
That stands beside our bed
    Am                               F
And sometimes the flame's too much to handle
       ~        C                     G
That's what you said, that's what you said
               Am
And you should know
            F                                  C
Because you built a fire in me and you made it burn
    F                           C
You followed me, watching every move
               G     ~ ~ ~
Matching every turn


CHORUS:
     C                            G
Your green eyes they don't miss a thing
     Am                        F
They hold me like the sun going down
D7                         G
Warm me like a fire in the night
          Am     G  Am
Without a sound


                             C
And you were waiting 'till I heard
        G                                  C    ~ ~ Am
Just as patient as that love-light in your eyes
                       F
You never threw away a word
   ~    C              G
Or ever talked in a disguise
           Am
I ought to know
           F                          C
You were a beacon to a sailor lost at sea
  F                                      C
I saw it in your eyes when you looked at me
       G   ~ ~ ~
So openly


CHORUS:
     C                            G
Your green eyes they don't miss a thing
     Am                         F
They hold me like the sun going down
D7                         G
Warm me like a fire in the night
          Am     G
Without a sound


INSTRUMENTAL: ~ ~ ~ C  G  Am  G F  D7  G   Am7  G  Am


                               C
The first time I ever saw your laughter
      G                              C  ~ ~
Break loose inside and tumble out to me
   Am                                 F
My heart knew it had found what it was after
    ~  C           G
And it came so easily
          Am
We should know
      F                                   C
After all the years of the hard and heavy times
        F                                   C
Now our days go by like best friends' story lines
          G     ~ ~ ~
Yours and mine


CHORUS:
     C                            G
Your green eyes they don't miss a thing
     Am                        F
They hold me like the sun going down
D7                         G
Warm me like a fire in the night
          Am             G
Without a sound, hmm hmm hmm
          Am
Without a sound
