If You Were Close Enough

C#m B A


[Verse 1]
     C#m                     B
What good is the beauty of a sunset
       A
If its nothing you can grasp
C#m                           B
Years spent building up these walls
         A
that are crumbling so fast
C#m
Strike a match, Ignite a flame
    B
And hope that I forget your name
       A
You're next to me, and all I see
   B
Is everything I want to be


[Chorus]
E                      B                               A
   And I would give up everything, to be freed of this curse
                   B                               E
I can't imagine anyway, That my life could get any worse
                                 B
You're so confused, It's hard to choose
                           A             B
But I have so much more to lose, more to lose
    C#m             B         A
And I wish that I'd never met you
        C#m               B               A
You can never love me the way that I love you


[Verse 2]
     C#m                         B
It's excruciating torture for me,
           A
To have to push you away
     C#m                 B
When all I've ever wanted,
                  A
Was to beg you to stay.
C#m
Fire burns, and I have learned
     B
That nothing good comes in return
       A
You're next to me, and all I see
   B
Is everything I'd die to be.


[Chorus]
E                      B                               A
   And I would give up everything, to be freed of this curse
                   B                               E
I can't imagine anyway, That my life could get any worse
                                 B
You're so confused, It's hard to choose
                           A             B
But I have so much more to lose, more to lose
    C#m             B         A
And I wish that I'd never met you
        C#m               B               A
You can never love me the way that I love you

[Bridge]
C#m
How can something that's so close
     A
feel infinitely far away
C#m
How has loving you become
  A
A greater challenge every day
C#m
If you were close enough to hold
     A
If I could erase all I'd been told
   C#m
If you were close enough to stay
    A
I'd never again push you away


[Chorus]
E                      B                               A
   And I would give up everything, to be freed of this curse
                   B                               E
I can't imagine anyway, That my life could get any worse
                                 B
You're so confused, It's hard to choose
                           A             B
But I have so much more to lose, more to lose
    C#m             B         A
And I wish that I'd never met you
        C#m               B               A
You can never love me the way that I love you
