CHORUS
..I am [|][F]sitting here wanting memor[|][F]ies to teach me, 
To see the [|][C]beauty in the world through my [|][F]own eyes. 
I am [|][F]sitting here wanting memor[|][F]ies to teach me, 
To see the [|][C7]beauty in the world through my [|][F]own eyes.
 
VERSE 1
You used to [|][F]rock me in the cradle of your [|][F]arms, 
You said you'd [|][F]hold me till the pains of life were [|][F]gone.
You said you'd [|][F]comfort me in times like these and [|][F]now I need you, 
Now I [|][Gm]Need yo[|][Gm]u and you are [|][F]go[|][F]ne.
 
CHORUS
..I am [|][F]sitting here wanting memor[|][F]ies to teach me, 
To see the [|][C]beauty in the world through my [|][F]own eyes.
Since you [|][F]gone and left me there's been so [|][F]little beauty, 
But I [|][C7]know I saw it clearly through your [|][F]eyes

VERSE 2
Now the [|][F]world outside is such a cold and [|][F]bitter place, 
Here in[|][F]side I have few things that will [|][F]console.
And when I [|][F]try to hear your voice above the [|][F]storms of life, 
Then I re[|][Gm]memb[|][Gm]er all the things that I was [|][F]to[|][F]ld. 
 
CHORUS
..I am [|][F]sitting here wanting memor[|][F]ies to teach me, 
To see the [|][C]beauty in the world through my [|][F]own eyes.
..I am [|][F]sitting here wanting memor[|][F]ies to teach me, 
To see the [|][C7]beauty in the world through my [|][F]own eyes.

VERSE 3
I think on the things that [|][F]made me feel so wonderful when i was [|][F]young.
I think on the things that [|][F]made me laugh, made me dance, made me [|][F]sing.
I think on the things that [|][F]made me grow into a being full of [|][F]pride.
 I think on these [|][Gm]things, [|][Gm]for they are [|][F]tru[|][F]e.
 
CHORUS
..I am [|][F]sitting here wanting memor[|][F]ies to teach me, 
To see the [|][C]beauty in the world through my [|][F]own eyes.
I thought that [|][F]you were gone, but now I [|][F]know you're with me, 
You are the [|][C7]voice that whispers all I need to [|][F]hear.
 
VERSE 4
I know a [|][F]please a thank you and a smile will take me [|][F]far, 
I know that [|][F]I am you and you are me and [|][F]we are one,
I know that [|][F]who I am is numbered in each [|][F]grain of sand, 
I know that [|][Gm]I've been blessed a[|][Gm]gain, and over a[|][F]gain. [|][F]
 
CHORUS
..I am [|][F]sitting here wanting memor[|][F]ies to teach me, 
To see the [|][C]beauty in the world through my [|][F]own eyes.
I am [|][F]sitting here wanting memor[|][F]ies to teach me, 
To see the [|][C7]beauty in the world through my [|][F]own eyes. [|]
