My Eyes Adored You

Am C F D

[Chorus]
          Am                                   D
My eyes adored you, oh I never laid a hand on you
         G
My eyes adored you.

Like a million miles away from me you could not see how I
  Am
adored you.
              D                C G
So close, so close and yet so far.

[Verse 1]
   G                     Bm             Dm
Carried your books from school, playing make believe you're
            C                                        F
 married to me... you were fifth grade, I was sixth when we
        D7
came to be.
  Em               Bm         Dm        G         C
Walking home every day, over Barnegat bridge and bay.
         Am           C               F
Till we grew into...  me and you...  went our separate
 D7
ways

(Chorus)

[Verse 2]
  Ab              Cm                 Ebm
Headed for city lights, climbed the ladder up to fortune
     Db
and fame.
   Bbm              Db            Gb            Eb7
I worked my fingers to the bone, made myself a name.
 Fm               Cm             Ebm           Ab
Funny, I seem to find, that no matter how the years
  Db
unwind.
         Bbm                 Db                   Gb
Still I reminisce about the girl I miss, and the love I
      Eb7
left behind.

[Chorus]
         Bbm                                   Ebm
My eyes adored you, oh I never laid a hand on you
          Ab
My eyes adored you.

Like a million miles away from me you could not see how I
  Bbm
adored you.
              Eb               Db Ab
So close, so close and yet so far.
