1. Close ev'ry door to me, hide all the world from me,

Em C Am B7

bar all my windows and shut out the light.

Do what you want with me, hate me and laugh at me,

Em C Am B7

darken my daytime and torture my night.

G C D G

If my life were important, I would ask will I live or die,

F Em C B7

but I know the answers lie far from this world.

Em B7 Em B7

2. Close ev'ry door to me, keep those I love from me,

for I have been promised a land of my own.

destroy me completely, then throw me away.

G C D G

If my life were important, I would ask will I live or die,

but I know the answers lie far from this world.
