[Chorus]
A D
Close but no cigar, I nearly won 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
Bm Bm
Almost had it all but I dropped the ball
E
And she walked right out the door
[Chorus]
A D
Close but no cigar, I nearly won 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
[solo: same chords as chorus]

[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 D
Close but no cigar, I nearly won 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
