[Verse 1]
     C                              G7
Well closer than the knob is to the door
                              C
Closer than the rug is to the floor
                                      F
Closer than the green grass is to the dew

[Chorus]
       G                         C
That’s how close I want to be to you

[Verse 2]
                               G7
Closer than the tree is to the ground
                           C
Closer than an echo to the sound
                              F
Closer than the sky is to the blue

[Chorus]
       G                         C
That’s how close I want to be to you

[Bridge]
G
Ever since I held your hand
C
Seen your pretty smile
D
I knew life without you
      G
Would never be worthwhile

[Verse 3]
C                             G7
Closer than the sea is to the shore
                                C
Closer than the three is to the four
                               F
Closer than the foot is to the shoe

[Chorus]
       G                         C
That’s how close I want to be to you

[Solo]
| G | G | C | C | G

[Bridge]
G
Ever since I held your hand
C
Seen your pretty smile
D
I knew life without you
      G
Would never be worthwhile

[Verse 4]
                               G7
Closer than the carport to the car
                             C
Closer than heaven is to the stars
                                      F
Closer than the green grass is to the dew

[Chorus]
       G                         C
That’s how close I want to be to you
       G                         C
That’s how close I want to be to you
