Maybe we' ll never be seen together at night on a crowded street 
 
         E      C#m                     D                                   
              A 
I may never reach across your body to kill the light when you' re asleep 
 
E             C#m                  D 
Maybe I' ll never watch you dressing 
 
E                        C#m               A 
I won' t sound too familiar on the phone 
 
             E               C#m           D                                
       A 
But I can touch your hand accidentally and take that moment home 
                B                 E                     A 
         That' s as close as I' ll get to loving you

E 
                Even though there' s nothing else I' d rather do 
 
                        B                E               A                  
      F#m 
                I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know 
  
                A                E                  F#m      (E) 
                That' s as close as I' ll get to loving you. 
INTRO 
 
E             C#m                         D 
I won' t be there when you need holding 
 
            E            C#m                A 
But I' m sure that he can pull you through 
 
              E           C#m            D                                  
           A 
But I can sing this song to everybody and pretend it' s not about you.
