Intro: D  G~~ 
 
D 
So leave your taxi waiting  
G 
And turn and close my door  
D 
And sit back down where you were sitting  
G 
A little closer then before  
  
D 
When you look that serious  
G                          Em 
It just makes me want you more  
D              A               Em 
And I've been meaning to tell you  
  
               D                  A 
The closer you get, the better I feel  
               D                G 
The closer you are, the more I see  
              D                 A 
Why everyone says, that I look happier  
              D 
When you're around  
               G                  D 
The closer you get, the better I feel  
  
  
And yes I know you're nervous  
Never seen you so unsure  
You haven't touched your food tonight  
And you're drinking more and more  
  
And there's no need to hurry  
Take you're time I'll still be here  
And I've been meaning to tell you  
  
The closer you get, the better I feel  
The closer you are, the more I see  
Why everyone says, that I look happier  
When you're around, the better I feel 
  
  
The closer you get, the better you see 
The closer you are, the more I see 
Why everyone says, that I look happier  
When you're around, the closer you get 
The better I feel, the better I feel 
  
D                             A 
We've been circling for time baby  
G                            Em 
We're coming down to land tonight  
D                             A 
The wait is over and now it's easy  
G              Em 
Everything is fine  
  
  
The closer you get, the better I feel  
The closer you are, the more I see  
Why everyone says, that I look happier  
When you're around, the better I feel 
  
The closer you get, the better you see 
The closer you are, the more I see 
Why everyone says, that I look happier  
When you're around, the closer you get 
The better I feel
