INTRO:
F G Am Am F G C

  F       G        Am
I live my days not knowing
       F  G       Am
What tomorrow may bring.
    F       G      Am
Sometimes I think about it
        F       G         C
And get lost in sleepless dreams
     F        G    Am
Like how will I survive
        F    G       Am
For the rest of this life.
    F       G     Am
And when it overwhelms me,
      F       G     C
I get lost in Amy’s eyes.

      G
Amy’s eyes;
   C                G              C
So big and blue and always seem to smile.
      G
Amy’s eyes
       C                   G             C
Like a Florida sunset that I can see for miles.
    Am                               F
She looks at me and smiles but never has to say a thing.
       Am
‘Cause Amy’s eyes can whisper
    F     G        C
And Amy’s eyes can sing.

   F        G      Am
My life has been a carnival.
            F        G       Am
Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose.
      F          G      Am
And I try not to second-guess
        F       G      C
All the choices that I choose.
 
F       G       Am
Now I’m looking back
   F     G          Am
At how I lived this life.
    F    G           Am
And if I could start over,
        F       G     C
I’d get lost in Amy’s eyes.

      G
Amy’s eyes
C                    G                C
Sparkle at me like a million stars at night.
      G
Amy’s eyes
C                 G              C
Brighter than the big West Texas sky.
    Am                               F
She looks at me and smiles but never has to say a thing.
       Am
‘Cause Amy’s eyes can whisper
    F     G        C
And Amy’s eyes can sing.

      G
Amy’s eyes;
   C                G              C
So big and blue and always seem to smile.
      G
Amy’s eyes
       C                 G                 C
Like a warm safe place I knew when I was a child.
    Am                            F
She looks at me and smiles and it almost makes me cry
       Am
‘Cause in her eyes I see the truth
      F    G     C
Amy’s eyes never lie.
    F    G     C
Her eyes never lie.
