             C (x32010@1)                              
Well you thought you let go, but you're still hanging on
             Am (x02210@1)                                                      
Mother earth's slowing down, she's still spinning around
         F (133211@1)                           CAnd (x32010@1)we are getting dizzy
      C (x32010@1)
I'll drop out of the race for more personal space
             Am (x02210@1)                                                                         FCuz (133211@1)the rockets we're in get so cold and I miss your skin

           G (320003@1)                                  F (133211@1)                                CIf (x32010@1)you want my love, well you've got to get closer to me

          C (x32010@1)                                       
No unreachable itch, if you hemorrhage I'll stitch
              Am (x02210@1)                                                                         FYou (133211@1)are tears, I'm a cheek, I'm a pail on your boat with slow leaks

           G (320003@1)                                  F (133211@1)                                CIf (x32010@1)you want my love, well you've got to get closer to me
