lyrics

Close to You
by Todd Burge ©2005 Bunj Jam-BMI
E, A, (intro) 
(E) A day can start out so good
And sometimes even get a little better (A)
(E) Like a sunny walk to a mailbox
And finding a new love letter (A)
 

(B, G#m, A, F#m, E)
But the backporch step
Creeks a complaint
Along the way

One toe gets tripped
And it all falls down
To stay (B7)
 
(A) That day didn't turn out the way
It was supposed to (E)
I was supposed to get close (F#m) to you
I was supposed to be close(G#m)
Close (A) to you
I was supposed to be
Close (B) to you

(back to beginning)
 
Now I hope that you've made it back home
And that you're in your own bed tonight
You've been away so long
Trying to get your heart to beat just right
 
You met someone new
And thought that you'd got things straight
But the winds of change
Blew the two of you away
 
That day didn't turn out the way
It was supposed to
He was supposed to get close to you
 He was supposed to be close
Close to you
I was supposed to be
Close
Too
