D RIFF 2:
D Dsus2--H--Dsus4 --> This time stay on the Dsus4 until the Cadd9
VERSE 1:
I [D] went out in the street for a walk in the night.
Had to [Cadd9] loosen my head, it's been wound too tight.
I've been [G] standing on the edge
After picking a fight with [D] you. [D RIFF 1]
Some[D]times my world seems so damn small,
I [Cadd9] can't think of nothin' 'cept for me at all.
And my [G] thoughts surround me like a prison wall its [Cadd9] true.
CHORUS:
I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
VERSE 2:
It[D] takes all my strength to slow myself down,
My [Cadd9] thoughts are screaming, I can't hear a sound.
Some[G]times I wish there was no one around but you. [D RIFF 1]
Oh [D] tell me you know what I'm talking about
Some[Cadd9]times you're the sail? of my confusion and doubt.
And then it [G] hurts so bad, you just wanna shout [Cadd9] "I'm through."
CHORUS:
I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] gotta get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
BRIDGE:
[Em] Please excuse these things I might have [Am] said.
[Em] You see they come from my frustration, not my [Am] head
[G] And the last thing [C] that I wanna [Em] do,
is [G] create a [C] distance,
[Em] between me and [Am] you. (Little bend on 8th fret of high E)
CHORUS:
I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] gotta get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] gotta get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
VERSE 3:
Well there seem [D] to be two states of mind,
[Cadd9] One is visionary, the other blind
And the [G] best that we can hope to find,
Is to meet somewhere in [D RIFF 1] between.
Well, the [D] night air has pulled me back a bit
[Cadd9] Just when I was about to quit
[G] Trying to get a candle lit
That lets me [Cadd9] see what can't be seen.
CHORUS:
I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] gotta get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] gotta get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] gotta get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now. [Cadd9] [G]
