Shuttered Eyes
Music & lyrics by Gary Meyer

Intro
E, F#7m, D#m7, B, A

Verse 1
E F#m
Stars are twinkling softly, the moon is meekly peeking
E B A
Between the smoky clouds in the sky
F#m G#7
A soft wind is rustling the dried leaves on the trees
D#m7 F#m A B7
But it all goes by unnoticed as you sleep.

Verse 2
E F#m
As I lay next to you, listening to you breathe
E B A
And staring at your face in the moonlight
F#m G#7
I feel overwhelmed, no way to help myself
D#m7 F#m A B
Remove this special sadness of our love.

Chorus
E F#m
Shuttered eyes closed against the night
E B A
Sealed to hide our love from sight
F#m A B
No cares of what goes on, in the world beyond
E F#7m, D#m7, B, A
Your shuttered eyes

Verse 3
E F#m
As you lay there sleeping, my mind dwells on the times
E B A
That the two of us should have shared.
F#m G#7
There could have been more had we met before
D#m7 F#m A B7
Before we committed our lives to other loves.

Verse 4
E F#m
I wish you would reveal how you manage to

E B A
Shut out and neglect the guilt we feel.
F#m G#7
When we spend a night together, you just close your eyes
D#m7 F#m A B7
And forget that our worlds will never be the same.
F#m A B7
No, our worlds, will never be the same.

Chorus
E F#m
Shuttered eyes closed against the night
C#m B A
Sealed to hide our love from sight
F#m A B
No cares of what goes in in the world beyond your
F# G#m
Shuttered eyes closed against the night
D#m C# B
Sealed to hide our love from sight
G#m B C#
No cares of what goes in in the world beyond your
G# A#m
Shuttered eyes closed against the night
G# D# C#
Sealed to hide our love from sight
A#m C#m D#
No cares of what goes in in the world beyond, your shuttered
G# A#m G# A#m
Eyes.........
