CLOSER by Jars of Clay

             C                               
Well you thought you let go, but you’re still hanging on
            Am                                                       
Mother earth’s slowing down, she’s still spinning around
        F                             C
And we are getting dizzy
     C 
I’ll drop out of the race for more personal space
            Am                                                                           F
Cuz the rockets we're in get so cold and I miss your skin
                                       C
It’s just how I’m feelin'

          G                                    F                                  C
If you need more love, well you’ve got to get close to me
          G                                    F                                  C
If you want my love, well you’ve got to get closer to me

         C                                        
No unreachable itch, if you hemorrhage I’ll stitch
             Am                                                                           F
You are tears, I’m a cheek, I’m a pail on your boat with slow leaks
                                   C
Out to sea for weeks

          G                                    F                                  C
If you want my love, well you’ve got to get close to me
          G                                    F                                  C
If you want my love, well you’ve got to get closer to me
G                        F
Oh, if you want my love

C                                               Em7                        F
I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
                   C                                               Em7            F
I want your kite strings tangled in my dreams all wrapped up
C                                               Em7                        F
I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
                  C                                               Em7                        F
I’ll be the comets that are fallin’ from the sky you light up…
               C
Light up

                   C
You’re my shirt, I an arm
          
I’m the tick, you’re the bomb
                  Am                                     F                           
You’re the L and the V, I’m the O and the E, and we…
G                                    C
Am I speaking clearly?
           G                                            F                                     C
If you want my love, well you’ve got to get close to me
G                   F
Ooh, if you want my love…

C                                               Em7                        F
I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
                   C                                               Em7                        F
I want your kite strings tangled in my dreams all wrapped up
C                                               Em7                        F
I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
                  C                                               Em7                        F
I’ll be the comets that are fallin’ from the sky you light up…

               C                                               Em7                        F
Because I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
                     C                                           Em7                           
I’ll miss the shivers in my spine every time that we touch.
