Verse 1:
D5                      A5
  I see the things you do
Do you think I wander
F#5             G5
   through half blind?
D5                      A5
  I see the things you hide
The fear you have 
  F#5             G5
inside is nothing new


Refrain 1:
    B5 A5     G5
But I  would never 
             D5
want to find out
     F#5         G5
Everything about you
      B5 A5     G5
Cause I  would never 
             D5
want to find out
       F#5            G5
What I thought wasn't true


Chorus 1:
     G5
Your mind is a place
        D5
I don't need to erase
     G5
What you've got in
               D5
your heart is enough
For me to start
    A5
breaking through
    B5 A5      G5
and Closer to you
G5  A5      D5
Closer to you


Verse 2:
D5                   A5
  I love you as you are
                F#5
Here and not too   far
       G5   D5
Out of view I love
            A5
the way you walk
To hear it when
   F#5              G5
you   talk Like you do


Refrain 2:
    B5 A5     G5
But I  would never
        D5
want to choose
            F#5
What I like best
      G5
About you
      B5 A5
Cause I  would
G5              D5
never want to spoil
        F#5
That mystery
       G5
With a clue


Chorus 2:
     G5
Your mind is a place 
        D5
I don't need to erase
     G5
What you've got in 
               D5
your heart is enough
For me to start
            G5
With enough holes
in my soul
        D5
I don't need your 
rock and roll
           A5
to stay in tune
    B5 A5      G5
And o  pen to you
G5 A5      D5
O pen to you


Interlude: D5  C5  G5  D5   x2 C5 G5 D5 A5  


Verse 3:
D5         A5
  Oh the abyss             
Mess of all those
F#5         G5
frustrating fools
D5                  A5
  They wander all around
Black and white
F#5           G5
no sound no improvements


Refrain 3:
    B5 A5
But I  see
G5
something
     D5
on a TV
        F#5
With a smell
      G5
and a choice
     B5 A5    G5
When I  feel yours and
         D5
my heart beating
         F#5
With the wealth of
    G5
the universe


Chorus 3:
     G5
Your mind is a place 
        D5
I don't need to embrace
            G5
What you've got in
               D5
your heart is enough
For me to start
making your
G5
happiness my own
     D5
Open up and let me
                A5
show what I can do
          B5 A5
When I am closer
   G5   G5  A5      D5  D(hold)
to you Closer to you
