intro: C# F# x 4
Verse 1
-------
C#                              F#
Almost gave up                  yesterday
C#                              F#
Almost made it to the           top
C#                              F#
Short of dying just the         other day
C#                              F#
Fell short of pickin up a       mop
C#                              G#
If it's the thought that counts you can always count on me
C#                              G#
I think about it all the        time
C#                              G#
It's gonna hit me like a        bolt of white lightnin'
C#                              G#
Here it comes my piece of       mind

CHORUS
------
C                       F
'Cause I'm close...     So close
C                       F
So close...
C                       F
I'm close               So close
C                       F
So...                   close...

Verse 2
-------
C#                              F#
I'm fallin' short of  provin' it
C#                              F#
Just a hair from the  truth
C#                              F#
Little shy of im - provin' it
C#                              F#
Here I come I'm comin'  through
C#                              G#
Pretty soon I'm gonna  shed this skin I'm wearin'
C#                              G#
I've been keepin' it in - side
C#                              G#
No one cares                    just how ya got there
C#                              G#
No one cares how hard ya        tried

CHORUS
------
C    F
But You're close... So close
C   F
So close...
C   F
You're close  So close
C   F
So....   close...
Verse 3
-------
C#                              F#
I've known you for      -       ever
C#                              F#
We complete each others         thoughts
C#                              F#
Ain't like we never got in      trouble
C#                              F#
It's just we've never gotten    caught
C#                              G#
And if you've got a  secret
C#                              G#
It's in me you can con  -       fide
C#                              G#
And if we ever get              split up
C#                              G#
I'll always be on your          side
CHORUS
------
C                       F
'Cause we're close...   So close
C                       F
So close...
C                       F
We're close  So close
C                       F
So....                  close...
