Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Closer To Believing (Guitar)

C
I am closer to believing, Than I ever was before

             Bb                      Gm
On the crest of this elation, Must I crash upon the shore

C
And with the driftwood of acquaintance

C
Light the fire to love once more

     Gm                C
I am wind blown...I am times

C
To be closer to believing,  To be just a breath away

             Bb
On the death of inspiration, I would buy back yesterday

               C
But there's no crueler illusion

C
There's no sharper coin to pay

      Gm                   C
As I reach out... It slips away

                          G
From the opium of custom, To the ledges of extremes

      F                              Dm
Don't believe it till you've held it, Life is seldom what it seems

             C
But lay your heart upon the table

C
And in the shuffling of dreams

     Bb                   C
Remember who on earth you are

  Bb       C   Dm                C
I need me, You need you, We want us

C
But of course you know I love you, Or what else am I here for

     Bb                                
Only you not face to face, But side by side for evermore

C
And I need to be here with you, For without you what am I

             Bb                           Gm
Just another fool out searching, For some heaven in the sky

        C               G
Take me closer to believing, Take me forward lead me on

        C
Through collision and confusion

               F               C
While there's life beneath the sun

C
You are the reason I continue, So near for so long

      Bb             C
So close yet so far away

  Bb       C   Bb        Dm      C
I need me, You need you, We want us to live forever

F                         Fm
So don't let the curtain fall

        C                 F              Fm
Measure after measure, Of writing on the wall

                                     C
That burns so brightly, It blinds us all

  Bb       C   Bb       Dm       C
I need me, You need you, We want us to be together

       F          Fm
On Sundays in the rain

C                    F                    Fm
Closer than forever, Against or with the grain

                           C
To ride the storms of love again

C
So be closer to believing, Though your world is torn apart

      Bb
For a moment changes all things, And to end is but to start

               C
And if your journey's unrewarded

C
May your God lift up your heart

          Gm
You are windblown

            C
But you are mine
