[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

adored you.

So close, so close and yet so far.
