Closer Than Close

Bee Gees

Am                              Dm 
    She'll read your mind, she's smart as a whip.  
 
  Am                          Dm 
    She'll suck you dry, but look at how much I drip.  
 
  G                        E7/G# 
    At the point of ecstasy    I write a symphony  
 
       Am 
    of poetry in motion, and leaving me there to die.  
 
 
     
 
 Am                   Dm 
    I tell myself let no one take her place.  
 
 Am                            Dm 
    To confide in someone and look at how much I paid.  
 
  G                       E7/G# 
    I want you next to me,    call it telepathy.  
 
        Am 
    We drifted into vision and look how much we see.  
 
 
 
    F6      Am 
    Ah, ah, ah...  
 
 
     
 
                       Dm                       Am 
    I just want to get closer than close to you.  
 
  Dm            Am 
    I know that one way or the other  
 
        Dm 
    any test of my faith will do.  
 
 
     
 
                                       Em7 
    And lovers fall for lovers' friends.  
 
 
    We make each other cry,  
 
     F 
    living in each others lives  
 
         Ab                               C 
    and trying to make the fantasy come true.  
 
 
     
 
Ab      Am                  Dm                        Am 
    But I just want to get closer than close to you.  
 
Dm        Am                  Dm                      Am 
    Baby, I just want to get closer than close to you.  
 
 
     
 
 Am                         Dm 
    Your soul is naked, it tells you what it wants.  
 
 Am                         Dm 
    I read your letter and look at how close I've come.  
 
  G                           E7/G# 
    There's more for us to see     in this philosophy.  
 
       Am 
    We both end up in heaven and look at how close we'd be.  
 
 
 
    
     
                        Dm                      Am 
    I just want to get closer than close to you.  
 
 Dm             Am 
    I know that one way or the other  
 
        Dm 
    any test of my faith will do.  
 
 
     
 
                                     Em7 
    I give my heart for you to break.  
 
 
    I give my final breath.  
 
    F 
    When nothing lasts forever see  
 
    Ab                           C 
    what we can turn eternity into.
