The Beautiful South – Closer Than Most (Guitar)

G#
Well I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open

A#
and it made me long for little last night

C#
Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet

G#
But a sweet worth every bite

G#
Now I'm not normally one to be greedy

A#
But I had to be greedy with you

C#
5 days, 6 days. the whole of the month

G#
wouldn't satisfy my only sweet tooth

            G#
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship

        A#
It can take a lifetime to get close

       C#
But we took all the shortcuts,

G#
and we still got closer than most

G#
Well excuse my staring but it's just your looks

A#
are a standard well above myself

C#
Your face might mean zip to you

G#
But to me it's something else

G#
All I can do is thank you

A#
and wish that every dream you have will come true

C#
5 years, 6 years, the whole of your life

G#
I'll be wishing for the riches for you

            G#
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship

       A#
It can take a lifetime to get close

        C#
But we took all the shortcuts,

G#      
and we still got closer than most

G#
You dashed pretty's only chance of a compliment

A#
and gave the plain the blues

C#
Turned supermodel into last year's pull

G#
and got her down shining your shoes

G#
And I don't mean to be hod carrier

A#
of the ordinary folks bad news

C#
But tell Miss World to fly to Mars

G#
If she really doesn't like to lose.

            G#
Well it can take many years to forge a friendship

       A#
It can take a lifetime to get close

       C#
But we took all the shortcuts,

G#
and we still got closer than most
