Misc Unsigned Bands – Billy Fury - Halfway To Paradise (Ukulele)

C         F       C
I want to be your lover,

                            G
but your friend is all I've stayed.

         C          F
I'm only halfway to paradise.

   C         G        C
So near, yet so far, away.

           C         F       C
I long for your lips to kiss my lips,

                           G
but just when I think they may,

            C          F
you lead me halfway to paradise,

   C         G       C
so near, yet so far away...

G                            C
Being close to you is almost heaven.

    G                         C
But seeing you can do just so much.

   G                                  C
It hurts me so to know your heart's a treasure..

         Am             D         G     G7
and that my heart is forbidden to tou...ch, so...

         C          F        C
Put your sweet lips close to my lips,

                                       G
and tell me that's where they're gonna stay.

              C          F
Don't lead me halfway to paradise,

F      C         G       C
Oh, so near, yet so far away. (Last line x2.)
