Brett Dennen – Closer To You chords

Intro
A   E   A    E

AWell I've tasted love so sweet
APlayed around but not for keeps
F#mI never been knocked off my feet
F#mTill you came along
C#mIn the room surrounding me
DAre angels I cannot see
BmI know they come to carry me to
EWhere I belong

          F#m            C#mCloser to you, closer to you
DI'm singing like a sailor 
                               F#mstrutting up your avenue
           BmLike a clown in a costume shop
        C#mWearing nothing but my birthday suit
                  F#m    F#mGetting closer to you

AAll the knocks upon your door
AFootsteps fallen on your floor
F#mAll the shipwrecks on your shore
F#mMean nothing to me
C#mAll the crooks on Capitol Hill
DCriminals on the dollar bills
BmAll the money on Wall Street still
ECouldn't keep me from getting

          F#m            C#mCloser to you. Closer to you
DLike a priest on a pulpit 
F#mpreaching to an empty room
       Bm                               Like a drunk in a dive bar
             C#mIn the early afternoon
          F#m    F#mCloser to you.

DmPoets could not pronounce your name
DmGamblers couldn't play the game
AmMatchstick statues set to flame
AmCouldn't hold a candle to you
GmSwindlers on the Sunset strip
GmHypnotists and hypocrites
EVentriloquists and Pickpockets
EWish that they could get

Solo:   Dm  Dm  Am  Am  Gm  Gm  E  E


AWell I've tasted love so sweet
APlayed around but not for keeps
F#mI never been knocked off my feet
F#mTill you came along
C#mI sit through the trickery
DThe jealousy and vanity
BmThe potency of your prophesy
EBecause I long to be

          F#m            C#mCloser to you. Closer to you
DLike a hound dog in a junkyard honey
F#mI'm howling at the moon
Bm Like a Pirate in a pawnshop
C#mwith a pocket full of jewels
          F#m  F#mCloser to you (x3)

I'll get through
Oh baby I'll get through
Closer to you
