Tom: Dm
G Am F
[Verse 1]
C G
They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym
Bb F
He fell like a rock, she kinda liked him
Dm G Am
And his heart beat like thunder, as they moved cross the floor
Dm Em Bb C
When the music was over, she slipped out of his arms, and out the door
[Verse 2]
C G
Yeah a man loves a woman, but he can't understand
Bb F
Why she's sad when she stares, at the ring on her hand
Dm G Am
Or she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall
Bb F Dm
Drops a coin in the jukebox, not the phone on the wall
[Chorus]
G Am F G
So close, yet so far away
G Am F G
So close, yet so far away
F C G Am
We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today
F Am G C
We're so close, so close, yet so far away
[Verse 3]
C G
Some people think, if you really believe
Bb F
That's what you need to solve all the mysteries
Dm G Am
Yea I know someone, who just heads for the sun
Bb F Dm
She says "I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young"
[Chorus]
G Am F G
So close, yet so far away
G Am F G
So close, yet so far away
F C G Am
We believe in tomorrow, though we're stuck in today
F Am G C
Baby we're so close, so close, yet so far away
[Bridge]
F
There's a restless look in your eye tonight
C G Em
There's a secret hurt in my heart (so, so close)
F
And the dream that pulls us together girl
Gm Am
Is a dream, that's gonna tear us, tear us apart
G
There's a restless look in your eye tonight
D A E
Oh, are you lookin' for some way out of here (so, so close)
G
We gotta fight to keep it together girl
Em D/F# G
For the dream, that keeps us
[Chorus]
A Bm G A
So close, yet so far away
A Bm G A
So close, yet so far away
G D A Bm
Who would of thought girl that we'd end up this way
G A A
Getting so close, so close, so far away
A Bm G A
So close, so far away (We're living in a dream world)
A Bm G A
So close, so far away (Yet we're livin' today girl)
A Bm G A
So close, so far away (movin' side by side by side )
A Bm G A
So close, so far away (side by side by side by side)
