Closer to You Brett Dennen
Intro
[A] [E] [A] [E]
[A]Well I've tasted love so sweet
[A]Played around but not for keeps
[F#m]I never been knocked off my feet
[F#m]Till you came along
[C#m]In the room surrounding me
[D]Are angels I cannot see
[Bm]I know they come to carry me to
[E]Where I belong
Closer to [F#m]you, closer to [C#m]you
[D]I'm singing like a sailor
strutting up your avenue[F#m]
Like a clow[Bm]n in a costume shop
Wearing [C#m]nothing but my birthday suit
Getting closer to [F#m]you[F#m]
[A]All the knocks upon your door
[A]Footsteps fallen on your floor
[F#m]All the shipwrecks on your shore
[F#m]Mean nothing to me
[C#m]All the crooks on Capitol Hill
[D]Criminals on the dollar bills
[Bm]All the money on Wall Street still
[E]Couldn't keep me from getting
Closer to [F#m]you. Closer to [C#m]you
[D]Like a priest on a pulpit
[F#m]preaching to an empty room
Like a [Bm]drunk in a dive bar
In the early [C#m]afternoon
Closer to [F#m]you.[F#m]
[Dm]Poets could not pronounce your name
[Dm]Gamblers couldn't play the game
[Am]Matchstick statues set to flame
[Am]Couldn't hold a candle to you
[Gm]Swindlers on the Sunset strip
[Gm]Hypnotists and hypocrites
[E]Ventriloquists and Pickpockets
[E]Wish that they could get
Solo: Dm Dm Am Am Gm Gm E E
[A]Well I've tasted love so sweet
[A]Played around but not for keeps
[F#m]I never been knocked off my feet
[F#m]Till you came along
[C#m]I sit through the trickery
[D]The jealousy and vanity
[Bm]The potency of your prophesy
[E]Because I long to be
Closer to [F#m]you. Closer to [C#m]you
[D]Like a hound dog in a junkyard honey
[F#m]I'm howling at the moon
[Bm]Like a Pirate in a pawnshop
[C#m]with a pocket full of jewels
Closer to [F#m]you ([F#m]x3)
I'll get through
Oh baby I'll get through
Closer to you
