G Am F


[Verse 1]

     C                              G
They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym
Bb                        F
He fell like a rock, she kinda liked him
         Dm                               G               Am
And his heart beat like thunder, as they moved cross the floor
          Dm        Em                Bb                         C
When the music was over, she slipped out of his arms, and out the door


[Verse 2]

        C                         G
Yeah a man loves a woman, but he can't understand
          Bb                          F
Why she's sad when she stares, at the ring on her hand
        Dm                           G           Am
Or she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall
         Bb          F                Dm
Drops a coin in the jukebox, not the phone on the wall


[Chorus]

G   Am        F       G
So close, yet so far away
G   Am        F       G
So close, yet so far away
     F           C             G          Am
We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today
      F         Am   G                C
We're so close, so close, yet so far away


[Verse 3]

C                          G
Some people think, if you really believe
Bb                        F
That's what you need to solve all the mysteries
    Dm                        G         Am
Yea I know someone, who just heads for the sun
         Bb               F      Dm
She says "I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young"


[Chorus]

G   Am        F       G
So close, yet so far away
G   Am        F       G
So close, yet so far away
     F           C             G               Am
We believe in tomorrow, though we're stuck in today
           F         Am   G                C
Baby we're so close, so close, yet so far away


[Bridge]

          F
There's a restless look in your eye tonight
          C                        G        Em
There's a secret hurt in my heart (so, so close)
          F
And the dream that pulls us together girl
      Gm                  Am
Is a dream, that's gonna tear us, tear us apart

           G
There's a restless look in your eye tonight
              D                               A       E
Oh, are you lookin' for some way out of here (so, so close)
          G
We gotta fight to keep it together girl
         Em  D/F#     G
For the dream, that keeps us


[Chorus]

A   Bm        G       A
So close, yet so far away
A   Bm        G       A
So close, yet so far away
G                     D             A           Bm
Who would of thought girl that we'd end up this way
        G             A             A
Getting so close, so close, so far away

A   Bm    G       A
So close, so far away (We're living in a dream world)
A   Bm    G       A
So close, so far away (Yet we're livin' today girl)
A   Bm    G       A
So close, so far away (movin' side by side by side )
A   Bm    G       A
So close, so far away (side by side by side by side)
