              Am                              Dm 
    She'll read your mind, she's smart as a whip.  
 
  Am                          Dm 
    She'll suck you dry, but look at how much I drip.  
 
  G                        E7/G# 
    At the point of ecstasy    I write a symphony  
 
       Am 
    of poetry in motion, and leaving me there to die.  
 
 
     
 
 Am                   Dm 
    I tell myself let no one take her place.  
 
 Am                            Dm 
    To confide in someone and look at how much I paid.  
 
  G                       E7/G# 
    I want you next to me,    call it telepathy.  
 
        Am 
    We drifted into vision and look how much we see.  
 
 
 
    F6      Am 
    Ah, ah, ah...  
 
 
     
 
                       Dm                       Am 
    I just want to get closer than close to you.  
 
  Dm            Am 
    I know that one way or the other  
 
        Dm 
    any test of my faith will do.  
 
 
     
 
                                       Em7 
    And lovers fall for lovers' friends.  
 
 
    We make each other cry,  
 
     F 
    living in each others lives  
 
         Ab                               C 
    and trying to make the fantasy come true.  
 
 
     
 
Ab      Am                  Dm                        Am 
    But I just want to get closer than close to you.  
 
Dm        Am                  Dm                      Am 
    Baby, I just want to get closer than close to you.  
 
 
     
 
 Am                         Dm 
    Your soul is naked, it tells you what it wants.  
 
 Am                         Dm 
    I read your letter and look at how close I've come.  
 
  G                           E7/G# 
    There's more for us to see     in this philosophy.  
 
       Am 
    We both end up in heaven and look at how close we'd be.  
 
 
 
    
     
                        Dm                      Am 
    I just want to get closer than close to you.  
 
 Dm             Am 
    I know that one way or the other  
 
        Dm 
    any test of my faith will do.  
 
 
     
 
                                     Em7 
    I give my heart for you to break.  
 
 
    I give my final breath.  
 
    F 
    When nothing lasts forever see  
 
    Ab                           C 
    what we can turn eternity into.  
 
 
     
 
        Fm                 Bbm                      Fm 
    And I just want to get closer than close to you  
 
Bbm          Fm 
    to the mo  ment you discover  
 
             Bbm 
    what the best of my love can do.  
 
 
     
 
                                        Cm7 
    And lovers fall for lovers' friends.  
 
 
    We make each other cry,  
 
    Db 
    living in each others lives  
 
         E                              Fm 
    and trying to make the fantasy come true.  
 
 
     
 
    Fm                  Bbm                     Fm 
    I just want to get closer than close to you.  
 
Bbm 
    Baby, I just want to get closer than close to you....
