Close But No Cigar

E       A


[Chorus]

             A                     
Close but no cigar, I nearly won 
  D
her heart
         E
I got so close but then my whole 
world
      A       E
Fell apart
                     A
I thought we were in love
           D
We came so far
               E
Now she's with someone else not me
               A
Close but no cigar


[Verse]

             E
Last night I kissed her lips
            A
Just like before
           E
But it was in her eyes
                     A
She wanted something more
        C#               F#m
I never said the words I love you
Continues after the ad
       Bm               Bm
Almost had it all but I dropped the 
ball
        E
And she walked right out the door


[Chorus]
             A                     
Close but no cigar, I nearly won 
  D
her heart
         E
I got so close but then my whole 
world
      A     E
Fell apart
                     A
I thought we were in love
           D
We came so far
               E
Now she's with someone else not me
             A
Close but no cigar

[Verse]
                  E
I had to live without
                A
What might have been
            E
He made his play
               A
Now she's with him
            C#                F#m
I'll bet he tells her that he loves 
her
     Bm                  Bm
Well heaven knows that I came this 
close
      E
But I won't have that chance again

[Chorus]
             A                     
Close but no cigar, I nearly won 
  D
her heart
         E
I got so close but then my whole 
world
      A     E
Fell apart
                     A
I thought we were in love
           D
We came so far
               E
Now she's with someone else not me
               A
Close but no cigar
               E
Now she's with someone else not me
               A
Close but no cigar
