The Wallflowers
"Closer To You"
from the album, "Red Letter Days", music & lyrics by Jakob Dylan

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
