( E7 )         A     E7          G/B      Em7 
It's not the pale moon that excites me, 
A     D             F?      Dm  A  F#7  Bm7(b5)  E7 
That thrills and delights me, oh, no ? 
              Bm7(b5)   E7      A    F#7   Bm7(b5)   E7 
It's just the near - ness of you. 
( E7 )      A     E7        G/B      Em7 
It isn't your sweet conversation 
A     D             F?    Dm  A  F#7  Bm7(b5)  E7 
That brings this sensation, oh, no ? 
              Bm7(b5)   E7      A    D9   A 
It's just the near - ness of you. 
 
Bridge: 
                  F? 
When you're in my arms, 
                   A        A7 
And I feel you so close to me, 
        D       F#7         Bm7  G7  E7 
All my wildest dreams come true. 
( E7 )       A     E7         G/B      Em7 
I need no soft lights to enchant me, 
A     D        F?      Dm   A  F#7  Bm7(b5)  E7 
If you'll only grant me the right 
            Bm7(b5)    F#     Bm 
To hold you ever so tight, 
      Bm7(b5)        E7     E7/6 
And to feel in the night 
     E7   Bm7(b5) E7  A    D    Dm   A 
The near - ness of you.
