So leave your taxi waiting,
     G
And turn and close my door,
     D
And sit back where you were sitting,
           G
A little closer than 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
The closer you get
              A
The better I feel
               F#m
The closer you are
            G
The more I see
              D
Why everyone says
             A
That I look happier
               F#m
When you're around
               G
The closer you get
              D
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 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
 F#m                 G
Coming down to the line, tonight
D             A
Wait is over now, it's easy,
F#m             G
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
The better I feel
