Closer and Closer Apart

(F)"Tell me the truth."

(Dm7)"Don't (Bbsus2)ask (C7)me to (F)lie."

These are the (Dm7)things we (Bb)say.

(C7)You (F)don't need (Dm7)proof and I'm (Bbsus2)not going to try.

But I think (C)we have (Dm)lost (Am)our (Bb)way.

(C7)Ah, you (F)don't own the (Dm7)sun and I (Bb)can't raise the moon,

so, now as the (Dm7)darkness (Bb)falls,

(C7)love so hard won, es then (Bbsus2)over (C7)too (F)soon and another (Dm7)cruel and daily (Bb)cause.

All I can (F)do is (Dm7)turn (C)now to (Bb)you,

(Am)holding (Gm)my (F)hand to my (Am)heart.

(Bb)All (C)that I know is I'm (Dm7)(F)watching us (Bbsus2)grow

(Bb)closer and (C7)closer apart.

(Bb)And now (F)all the (Dm7)horses and and (Bb)all the to men and wait for their (Dm7)clarion (Bb)call.

(C7)Pride hears its voic es and (Bbsus2)fear wins (C7)(F)again and there's nothing (Dm7)to break our ly (Bb)fall.

All I can (F)do is (Dm7)turn (C)now to (Bb)you,

(Am)holding (Gm)my (F)hand to my (Am)heart.

(Bb)All (C)that I know is I'm (Dm7)(F)watching us (Bbsus2)grow.

(Bb)closer and (C7)closer apart.

(Bb)And now (Dm)closer and (Am)(C7sus)closer apart,

(Dm)closer and (Am)(C7sus)closer (F)apart.

(Dm7)Over and (F)over and (Bb)over (F)again

the (Bb)world only (F)spins one (C)way.

The (Dm)past is a (F)distant (Bb)flicker by now and a lesson (Gm7)for another day.

Now my (Bb)All I can (F)do is (Dm7)turn back to (Bb)you and wait with one (F)hand on my (Am)heart.

(Bb)All (C7)that I know is it's (Dm)so (Fmaj7)hard to (Bbsus2)go.
