----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recorded one step higher than I' ve written (key of Eb).
To play along with the CD, be sure to capo up at the first fret.


INTRO: E C#m D   E C#m D

E                 C#m                 D           E      C#m             A
Maybe we' ll never be seen together at night on a crowded street

         E      C#m                     D
              A
I may never reach across your body to kill the light when you' re asleep

E             C#m                  D
Maybe I' ll never watch you dressing

E                        C#m               A
I won' t sound too familiar on the phone

             E               C#m           D
       A
But I can touch your hand accidentally and take that moment home

                B                 E                     A
CHORUS: That' s as close as I' ll get to loving you

                B                E                     A
E
                Even though there' s nothing else I' d rather do

                        B                E               A
      F#m
                I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know

                A                E                  F#m      (E)
                That' s as close as I' ll get to loving you.

INTRO

E             C#m                         D
I won' t be there when you need holding

            E            C#m                A
But I' m sure that he can pull you through

              E           C#m            D
           A
But I can sing this song to everybody and pretend it' s not about you.

CHORUS

SOLO (E C#m D E C#m D)

CHORUS

A             E                    F#m
That' s as close as I' ll get to...

A             E                    F#m
That' s as close as I' ll get to...

A             E                    F#m
That' s as close as I' ll get to...
