 So close, yet so far from paradise

 I hold, you in my arms, and paradise

   Em             Am
Is mine, then you slip away

       F        Dm   G
Like a child at play

    C         Em  F     G               |   C   Caug   |   C6   Caug   |
And here am I: So close, yet so far from paradise

 When you, are close to me, it's paradise

C       Caug  C6     Caug  C
 We kiss,      oh my love, paradise

   Em                         Am
Is mine, then suddenly you're gone from me

                F       Dm   G
Like a floating star, I see

    C         Em  F     G                C          C7
And here am I: So close, yet so far from paradise
[Middle 8]
F                    E7
 I reach out for you, but each time I do

Am                 C7
 I always find you gone

Am                  F
 I know love is new, I'll take care of you

D7                  Dm7   G
In my arms is where you belong
[Verse]

 Just,   a step away, are we from paradise

 Take my hand,   come away, to paradise

   Em               Am
My love, I want you close to me

I need you desperately
[Coda]

Oh here am I  ...    waiting for you

  Here am I

So close, yet so far from paradise
