Brett Dennen – Closer To You (Ukulele)

A
Well I've tasted love so sweet

A
Played around but not for keeps

F#m
I never been knocked off my feet

F#m
Till you came along

C#m
In the room surrounding me

D
Are angels I cannot see

Bm
I know they come to carry me to

E
Where I belong

          F#m            C#m
Closer to you, closer to you

D
I'm singing like a sailor 

                               F#m
strutting up your avenue

           Bm
Like a clown in a costume shop

        C#m
Wearing nothing but my birthday suit

                  F#m    F#m
Getting closer to you

A
All the knocks upon your door

A
Footsteps fallen on your floor

F#m
All the shipwrecks on your shore

F#m
Mean nothing to me

C#m
All the crooks on Capitol Hill

D
Criminals on the dollar bills

Bm
All the money on Wall Street still

E
Couldn't keep me from getting

          F#m            C#m
Closer to you. Closer to you

D
Like a priest on a pulpit 

F#m
preaching to an empty room

       Bm                               
Like a drunk in a dive bar

             C#m
In the early afternoon

          F#m    F#m
Closer to you.

Dm
Poets could not pronounce your name

Dm
Gamblers couldn't play the game

Am
Matchstick statues set to flame

Am
Couldn't hold a candle to you

Gm
Swindlers on the Sunset strip

Gm
Hypnotists and hypocrites

E
Ventriloquists and Pickpockets

E
Wish that they could get

A
Well I've tasted love so sweet

A
Played around but not for keeps

F#m
I never been knocked off my feet

F#m
Till you came along

C#m
I sit through the trickery

D
The jealousy and vanity

Bm
The potency of your prophesy

E
Because I long to be

          F#m            C#m
Closer to you. Closer to you

D
Like a hound dog in a junkyard honey

F#m
I'm howling at the moon

Bm 
Like a Pirate in a pawnshop

C#m
with a pocket full of jewels

          F#m  F#m
Closer to you (x3)
