G
I close my eyes when I get too sad.
D
I think thoughts that I know are bad.
C
Close my eyes and I count to ten.
D
Hope its over when I open them.
G
I want the things that I had before,
D
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door.
C
I wish I could count to ten,
D
make everything be wonderful again.
G
Hope my Mom and I hope my Dad
D
figure out why they get so mad.
C
Hear them scream, hear them fight.
D
They say bad words that make me want to cry.
G
I close my eyes when I go to bed
D
and I dream of adventures that make me smile.
C
I feel better when I hear them say,
D5
Everything will be wonderful some day.
[Chorus]
C D
Promises mean everything when you little and the
G G
world so big. I just dont understand how
C D
you can smile with all those tears in your eyes
G
and tell me everything is wonderful now.

[Verse]
G
Go to school and I run and play.
D
I tell the kids that its all O.K.
C
I have to laugh so my friends dont know,
D
when the bell rings I just dont wanna go home.
G
I go to my room and I close my eyes,
D
I make believe that I have a new life.
C
I do believe you when you say,
D
Everything will be wonderful someday.
[Chorus]
C D
Promises mean everything when you're little and the
G G
world's so big, so big, I just don't understand how
C D
you can smile with all those tears in your eyes
G
and tell me everything is wonderful now.
