Verse 1:

G5 
You were young, you had time on your hands 

      D5
 And I, was a rollercoaster of the kind 

               Bb5   
 that needs to ride so high 

     G5
 To dive so low 

F5                       D5
  All the time I had to keep you close 


G5
 Now I finally know how it must of hurt 

D5
 To see all of the love and care only work 

   Bb5                G5
 A little while and then I'd go

F5                       D5 
  All the time I had to keep you close

Chorus:

G5       
 What you feel is what you get 

D5
 You know there is no answer fit 
 
   Bb5                G5
We broke the code so long ago

F5                       D5 
  I'm going to keep you ever close 

G5      
 Just like on the day we met 

D5
 You pulling on me like a cigarette 

    Bb5                 G5
 So like the sea holds to the shore 

F5                       D5
  I'm going to keep you ever close 

Bridge: C5      D5

Verse 2:

 Now the years have a way to make you forget 
 That we're still in the same place 
 No hurry yet 
 The path we're on is the path we chose 
 I'll still remember how to keep you close 

 Linger on, linger on in the scheme of things 
 We are only inhabiting our own dreams 
 They don't come true, it's the way it goes 
 And in the meantime I will hold you close 

Chorus:

And in my heart and in my head
You are the only dream I dreamed
The fear will keep me on my toes
I`m going to keep you ever close 

Just like on the day we met
You pulling on me like a cigarette
So like the seaholes to the shore
I`m going to keep you ever close

Bridge: C5      D5

Verse 3: 

 So is this what they mean about moving on 
 Is this really the end you won't stick around 
 The one that stays, you're the one that throws 
 Out the one that has kept you close 

 And is this definition of constant change 
 A transformission of what we hope stays the same 
 Cold's the breeze that forever blows 
 Warm are the hands that have kept you close 

Chorus:

 Coldness is what lays ahead 
 So when I see you should I just pretend 
 The flower's cut but it still grows 
 I'm going to keep you ever close 

 Just like on the day we met 
 I'm pulling on you like a cigarette 
 So like the sea holds to the shore 
 I'm going to keep you ever close
