This Close To You

[Verse 1]
G
I'll have to be
   C        D
As brave as you
     Em         G
With no star to guide us
C        G
Blazing above;

And no moonshiner's river
   C        D
To carry us through
    Em              G
And no way to speak
           C            G
When there aren't words enough

[Chorus]
 D
Fair enough
    C            G        D
You asked me for nothing

Fair enough
        C             D
All you told me was true
   G
I called down the flood
        C         G
And I'm falling forever

But I was this close to you
     D        G
This close to you

[Verse 2]

It rained for a week
       C            D
And I kept my head down
Em              G
Trying to think what
      C         G
You reminded me of:

Continues after the ad
A fire that had ravaged
    C    D
An Ohio town
    Em                G
And spooked me at noon
        C                G
With my headlights still on

[Chorus]
  D
Fair enough
     C           G
You asked me for nothing
   D
Fair enough
        C           D
All you told me was true
   G
I called down the flood
         C        G
And I'm falling forever

But I was this close to you
     D         G    C
This close to you

[Bridge]
     Em          G
Well sometime at night
  Am               C
I pretended to be sleeping
        Em            G  Am
Just to hear what it is
         C
That you say
         Em              G
When you talk to yourself
         Am          C
And the darkness is keeping
Em           G       C
The hateful morning
            D
A goodnight away

[Verse 3]
   G
If I was much younger
  C             D
I might just forget it
   Em            G
If love was the habit of
C             G
Some borrowed room;

But it's all that I have
        C          D
And I'm doomed to regret it
   Em             G
If I can't forgive
   C           G
Myself or you soon

[Chorus]
     D
Fair enough
    C            G
You asked me for nothing
 D
Fair enough
         C           D
All you told me was true
  G
I called down the flood
        C          G
And I'm falling forever

But I was this close to you
      D       G
This close to you
