      Em       D            Em                D
    making each other cry, hurting each other,

2. Closer than the leaves on a weepin' willow, baby, we are,
     Am                                                      G
    closer, dear, are we than the simple letters "A" and "B" are.

    without ever knowing  - -  why.
