CAPO 1

VERSE 1
G5              D5
Trying to catch Christmas Eve
        C5                  D5 
With a seven-thirty-seven
   G5           D5         C5        D5
Via St. Louis on a threadbare heart

G5                  D5
Trying hard to believe
      C5                 D5
In ghosts and heaven
G5           D5               C5      D5
And wheels that turn with a broken part

PRE CHORUS

A5                      D5
Stealing kisses over the phone
A5                                D5
Making wishes on a bottle of cote d'rome
A5                   B5                   
Some of these days are longer than
C5                              D5
The lonely distance that's between them

CHORUS
G5                  D5
Let's be closer than we are
C5                 D5
To Jupiter or Spain
G5               D5
There are two seats at the bar
C5                 D5
For Mr. and Mrs. my last name
G5                   D5
We are simpler than the stars
C5                   D5
That our eyes cannot contain
G5           D5       C5
Let's be closer than we are


VERSE 2
G5              D5
Trying to build galaxies
C5               D5
Out of winks and shivers
G5              D5            C5       D5
That you give me when you call my name

G5              D5
Trying to write symphonies
C5          D5
With a hand that quivers
G5            D5      C5        D5
In the storm of your elusive rain

PRECHORUS
A5             D5
Leaving lovers on their own
A5                          D5
Crawling through burning cities to get back home
A5                    B5
Some of these days are longer than
C5                           D5
The lonely distnce that's between them

CHORUS 

G5                  D5
Let's be closer than we are
C5                 D5
To Jupiter or Spain
G5               D5
There are two seats at the bar
C5                 D5
For Mr. and Mrs. my last name
G5                   D5
We are simpler than the stars
C5                   D5
That our eyes cannot contain
G5           D5      C5
Let's be closer than we are
G5           D5        C5
Let's be all that will remain
