| [C] When I was younger, | ... in the | [Csus4] days of my | [C] youth |
| [C] I used to sit down | and watch the ri- | [F] ver go | down |
| [F] And see my dreams roll 'round the | [C] bend |
| [C] Hoping they'd come | [G7] back again | [G7] | [G7] | [G7] |
| [C] Now a long time's gone | by and at | [Csus4] least once a | [C] day |
| [C] I sit and think a- | bout when you were | [F] ho- | ly |
| [F] And so eager to | see what you could | [C] find; |
| [C] It's funny how we | [G7] lost the time | [G7] | [G7] | [G7] |
| [F] You wonder why I lay a- | wake at night
Well I | [F] just can't get to | [C] sleep |
| [F] It's not the devils or the | feelings inside
It's the | [F] peace of mind I | [C] seek
And you | [G7] stand there starin', I'm | standin' laughin' |
| [G7] I've come all this | [C] way and all you | [F] ever said | [F] was
"That's O- | [C] kay" | [C] |

| [C] Music in your eyes | ..., | [G7] I can tell by your | surprise |
| [C] You've been doin' fine | ..., so | [G7] don't give me no more | lies;

Now | [C] don't be feelin' shy | ..., | [G7] I know you know | how |
| [F] ... | [Em] you're not [Dm] sleeping | [C] now | [C] |
| [Em] When I came in- | to this town I | [F] knew my hands were | [C] bound; |
| [Em] They say you have to | pay for your way or | [F] else go under- | [C] ground
But I said, | [C] "Music in your eyes | ..., | [G7] I can tell by your | surprise

| [Em] Don't place me | in a hole, 'cause | [F] that's not the way to | [C] do it; |
| [Em] I have to keep on | changing my face, | [F] 'til I can | quit being con- | [G7] fused | [G7] |
| [C] Music in your eyes | ..., | [G7] I can tell by your | surprise |
