A E/G# F#m
It's hard to let the miles pass me by
E A Bm A E
Yellow lines that blend together in my eyes
Bm A E A D
And when the seasons change again then I will too
Bm A E A --> intro
I just want to be closer to you
A E/G# F#m
I'm staring out at endless rows of green
E A Bm A E
There are miles of hay like I have never seen
Bm A E A D
Just when you think you've had enough and your dreams come true
Bm A E A
I just want to be closer to you
Bm A D A
My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from
Bm A D
I tried not to let you down
Bm A D A
Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong
Bm A D A Bm E A --> intro
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Tomorrow I'll be lying under you
With a heart of gold and arms to fall into
I know that there might come a day
where my life is through
But I just want to be closer to you
My mind wanders through all that I've been hiding from
I tried not to let you down
Now I wonder if I've been doin' something wrong
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Someday we might learn to tell the truth
We might even find the fountains of our youth
We all needed something real we all need proof
I just want to be closer to you
I only want to be closer to you
