CLOSER AND CLOSER APART

(F)“Tell me the truth.”

“Don’t (Bbsus2)ask (C7)me to (F)lie.”

These are the (Dm7)things we (Bb)say.

You (F)don’t need proof

and I’m (Bbsus2)not going to try.

But I think (C)we have (Dm)lost (Am)our (Bb)way.

(C7)Ah, you (F)don’t own the (Dm7)sun and I (Bb)can’t raise the moon,

so, now as the (Dm7)dark ness (Bb)falls,

(C7)love so hard won, es then (Bbsus2)o ver (C7)too (F)soon and an oth er (Dm7)cruel and dai ly (Bb)cause.

All I can (F)do

is (Dm7)turn (C)now to (Bb)you,

hold (Am)ing (Gm)my (F)hand to my (Am)heart.

(Bb)All (C)that I know is I’m watch (F)ing us (Bbsus2)grow

(Bb)clos er and (C7)clos er a part.

And now (F)all the hors (Dm7)es and and (Bb)all the to men

and wait for their (Dm7)clar ion (Bb)call.

(C7)Pride hears its voic es and (Bbsus2)fear wins (C7)a (F)gain and there’s noth ing (Dm7)to break our ly (Bb)fall.

All I can (F)do

is (Dm7)turn (C)now to (Bb)you,

hold (Am)ing (Gm)my (F)hand to my (Am)heart.

(Bb)All (C)that I know is I’m watch (F)ing us (Bbsus2)grow.

(Bb)clos er and (C7)clos er a part.

And now (Dm)clos er and (Am)clos (C7sus)er a part,

(Dm)clos er and (Am)clos (C7sus)er a (F)part.

(Dm7)O ver and (F)o ver and (Bb)o ver a gain

the (Bb)world on ly (F)spins one (C)way.

The (Dm)past is a (F)dis tant flick (Bb)er by now

and a (Bb)les son for an oth er day.

Now my (Bb)All I can (F)do

is (Dm7)turn back to (Bb)you

and wait with one (F)hand on my (Am)heart.

(Bb)All (C7)that I know is it’s so (Fmaj7)hard to (Bbsus2)go.
