               por Carla Lima    
 
intro: G7+  C7+ (3x)   G7+ 
  
       C7+             B7sus4  B7                            
Why do birds suddenly appear 
      Bm7          Em7  
Every time you are near? 
C7+                           
Just like me, they long to be 
G7+  
Close to you. 
 
 
        C7+                     B7sus4  B7 
Why do stars fall down from the sky 
      Bm7           Em7 
Every time you walk by? 
C7+          
Just like me, they long to be 
G7+          G7 
Close to you 
 
 
C7+                              
On the day that you were born 
The angels got together 
      Bm7                          E9/sus4  E7     
And decided to create a dream come true 
         C7+ 
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair  
                                      D 
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue 
 
 
        C7+                  B7sus4  B7  
That is why all the girls in town 
       Bm7      Em7 
Follow you all around 
C7+               
Just like me, they long to be 
G7+ 
Close to you 
 
 
solo: C#7+  C7sus4  C7  Cm7  Fm7  C#7+  Ab7+ 
 
 
C#7+              
On the day that you were born 
The angels got together 
      Cm7                           F9/sus4  F7      
And decided to create a dream come true 
         C#7+ 
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair 
                                      Eb 
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue 
 
 
        C#7+                 C7sus4  C7 
That is why all the girls in town 
       Cm7      Fm7 
Follow you all around 
C#7+ 
Just like me, they long to be 
Ab7+ 
Close to you 
C#7+    
Just like me, they long to be 
Ab7+  C#7+  Ab7+  C#7+ ...          
Close to you 
  
C#7+   Ab7+  
Wah... Close to you...
