E5                 C#5                 D5           E5      C#5             A5 
Maybe we' ll never be seen together at night on a crowded street 
         E5      C#5                     D5 
I may never reach across your body to kill the light when you' re asleep 
E5             C#5                  D5 
Maybe I' ll never watch you dressing 
E5                        C#5               A5 
I won' t sound too familiar on the phone 
             E5               C#5           D5
But I can touch your hand accidentally and take that moment home 
       B5                 E5                     A5 
That' s as close as I' ll get to loving you 
B5                E5                     A5                                
Even though there' s nothing else I' d rather do 
        B5               F#5             E5                              
I can dream , I can hope, I can scheme but still I know 
A5                E5                  F#5      
That' s as close as I' ll get to loving you.  

INTRO 
E5             C#5                         D5 
I won' t be there when you need holding 
            E5            C#5                A5 
But I' m sure that he can pull you through 
      
But I can sing this song to everybody and pretend it' s not about you.
