[Verse 1]
C G7
Well closer than the knob is to the door
C
Closer than the rug is to the floor
F
Closer than the green grass is to the dew
[Chorus]
G C
That’s how close I want to be to you
[Verse 2]
G7
Closer than the tree is to the ground
C
Closer than an echo to the sound
F
Closer than the sky is to the blue
[Chorus]
G C
That’s how close I want to be to you
[Bridge]
G
Ever since I held your hand
C
Seen your pretty smile
D
I knew life without you
G
Would never be worthwhile
[Verse 3]
C G7
Closer than the sea is to the shore
C
Closer than the three is to the four
F
Closer than the foot is to the shoe
[Chorus]
G C
That’s how close I want to be to you
[Solo]

[Bridge]
G
Ever since I held your hand
C
Seen your pretty smile
D
I knew life without you
G
Would never be worthwhile
[Verse 4]

Closer than the carport to the car
C
Closer than heaven is to the stars
F
Closer than the green grass is to the dew
[Chorus]
G C
That’s how close I want to be to you
G C
That’s how close I want to be to you
