The Wallflowers 
"Closer To You" 
 
Intro: Em  C  D  G 

G          Em          C 
How soft a whisper can get 
D             G 
When your're walking through a 
Em       C  
Crowded space 
D       G    Em         C   
I hear every word being said 
D       G           Em   C 
And I remember that everyday 
D                  G         Em  C  D  G 
I get a little bit closer to you 
Em  C  D  G 
you 
 
G           Em       C 
How long an hour can take 
D            G           Em 
When you're staring into open 
C 
space 
D               G        Em    
When I feel I'm slipping further  
C 
away 
D         G     Em   C 
I remember that everyday 
D                 G          Em  C  D  G 
I get a little bit closer to you 
Em C D G 
you 
 
Bridge: C C D D (x2) 
 
Em            C 
These are the days 
D                G 
That I won't get back 
Em              C 
I won't her you cry 
D           G  
Or hear you laugh 
Em            C 
And when it's quiet 
D                  G 
And i don't hear a thing 
Em    C       D        G 
I can always hear you breathe 
(You know there's nowhere else) * This part comes in during the G chord, 
and the previous line "...you breathe" 
 
Em             C 
I've wanted to be 
D              G       Em     C  
Than be there when you needed me 
D 
I'm sorry too 
G              Em    C 
But don't give up on me 
D             G             Em 
And just remember that when you 
      C 
Were asleep 
D                    G       Em  C  D  G 
I got a little bit closer to you 
Em  C  D  G 
you            * repeat till end
