[Intro]
G
 
[Verse]
G
Heavy is the mind that's filled with worry
B7
Paralyzed by sad news on T.V.
Cmaj7                          Am           B7         Em
All I get from sleep are these strange and apocalyptic dreams
                   D/F#
How do I make them leave?
 
[Verse 2]
  G
I muster all my strengths and look out the window
B7
No children on the sidewalks and no cars on the streets
Cmaj7                 Am           B7        Em
Isn't it ironic, this used to be a holiday scene
                    D/F#
Now we're under siege
 
[Chorus]
       Cadd9*   G*       D/F#*
Is it okay if I close my eyes?
       Cadd9*   G*      D/F#*
Is it okay if I take my time?
                  G
Just for a little while
                  D/F#
Just for a little while
                  Em   G D/F#
Just for a little while, ooh
 
[Interlude]
G
 
[Verse 3]
G
Heavy is the heart that's filled with memories
B7
The happy, tragic, and mundane in-betweens
Cmaj7                   Am
Joni was right when she sang
           B7               Em
"You don't know what you got till it's gone"
      D/F#
Oh, it's all gone
 
[Chorus 2]
          Cadd9    G        D/F#
So is it okay if I close my eyes?
       Cadd9    G       D/F#
Is it okay if I take my time?
                  G
Just for a little while
                  D/F#
Just for a little while
                  Em   G D/F#
Just for a little while, ooh
 
[Interlude]
 
Cmaj7 Dadd4
 
[Bridge]
Cmaj7           Dadd4
We won't be the same
Cmaj7       Dadd4
I'm forever changed
Cmaj7      Em
I cannot unsee
D/F#               G   D/F#
What's in front of me, hmm
 
Cmaj7           Dadd4
We won't be the same
Cmaj7       Dadd4
I'm forever changed
Cmaj7      Em
I cannot unsee
D/F#               G
What's in front of me
                D/F#
Oh, it's all in front of me
 
[Chorus 3]
       Cadd9    G        D/F#
Is it okay if I close my eyes?
       Cadd9    G       D/F#
Is it okay if I take my time?
           Cadd9    G        D/F#
Oh, is it okay if I close my eyes?
       Cadd9    G       D/F#
Is it okay if I take my time?
                   G
Just for a little while
                   D/F#
Just for a little while
                   Em  G D/F#
Just for a little while, ooh
 
[Verse 4]
G
Heavy is the soul that's gone to war
B7
With questions of who's really in control
Cmaj7
So I plead and I plead myself
Am           B7       Em
To fight and see that this is where
       D/F#
I'm supposed to be
       G
Right now
