Dm  F  Am  G  (4x)

[Verse 1]
         Dm       F          Am       G
It's the same old story when someone astounds you
    Dm          F           Am          G
The harder they come is the harder they fall
Dm        F        Am          G
Taking it easy, no matter what people say
    Dm        F             Am        G    F
And time will heal all your troubles away


[Chorus]
           G
I've got a notion
                    Am     F       G      F
I might as well get closer to your heart
                G
It's out in the open
                    Am     F       G    
I might as well get closer to your heart


[Verse 2]
Dm          F
Tossing and turning
Am      G             Dm       F    Am   G
Burning dreams across the night (forever searching)
Dm       F           Am          G
Silently waiting for such a long time
           Dm     F           Am         G      F
But will I know tomorrow that he will be mine?


[Chorus]
           G
I've got a notion
                    Am     F       G      F
I might as well get closer to your heart
                G
It's out in the open
                    Am     F       G
I might as well get closer to your heart

[Verse 3]
            Dm       F          Am       G
So it's the same old story when someone astounds you
         Dm          F           Am          G
That the harder they come is the harder they fall
   Dm        F        Am          G
By taking it easy, no matter what people say
    Dm        F             Am        G    F
And time will heal all your troubles away


[Chorus]
           G
I've got a notion
                    Am     F       G      F
I might as well get closer to your heart
                G
It's out in the open
                    Am     F       G      F
I might as well get closer to your heart


[Chorus]
           G
I've got a notion
                    Am     F       G      F
I might as well get closer to your heart
                G
It's out in the open
                    Am     F       G      F
I might as well get closer to your heart
