[Intro]
Em7
 
Am7 Dm G Am7
 
[Verse 1]
 Am
    She'll read your mind
       Dm7
She's smart as a whip
 Am
    She'll suck you dry
      Dm7
But look at how much I drip?
G
  At the point of ecstasy
E7/Ab
      I write a symphony
    Am
Of poetry in motion
 
And leavin' me there to die
 
[Verse 2]
Am                    Dm7
   I tell myself let no one take her place
Am
   To confide in someone
     Dm7
And look at how much I paid?
G
  I want you next to me
E7/Ab
      Call it telepathy
    Am
We drifted into vision
 
And look at how much we see?
 
[Interlude]
Dm/F
Ahh
F/G  Am
Ah  ahh
 
[Chorus]
Am                 Dm7         G       Am Dm
I just wanna get closer than close to you
             Am
I know that one way or the other
     Dm7        G
Any test of my faith will do
Dm7                              Em7
    And lovers fall for lovers' friends
 
We make each other cry
 F
Livin' in each others lives
     Ab                              C   Ab
And tryin' to make the fantasy come true
Am                 Dm7         G       Am  Dm7  G
I just wanna get closer than close to you, baby
Am                Dm7         G        Am
I just wanna get closer than close to you
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am
   Your soul is naked
    Dm7
It tells you what you want?
Am
   I read your letter
     Dm7
And look at how close I've come?
G
  There's more for us to see
E7/Ab
      In this philosophy
    Am
We both end up in Heaven
 
And look at how close we'd be
 
[Interlude]
Dm/F
Ahh
F/G  Am
Ah  ahh
 
[Chorus]
Am                Dm7         G        Am Dm
I just wanna get closer than close to you
           Am
I know that one way or the other
     Dm         G
Any test of my faith will do
Dm7                             Em7
    I give my heart for you to break
 
I give my final breath
F
  Nothin' last forever see
Ab                        C  Ab C Ab
   We can turn eternity into
