Better Than Ezra - Closer (Acoustic) chords
Start Jamming...
And the morning light was breaking,
[E] slowly moving across [E] the bed
He gets up without her waking, to the voices in his head
Through the shadows in the hallway, to the room that Penny had brewed
And on the inside he is frightened, at a loss for what to do
Until he opens up his eyes
And the angels all look down,
[F#] even closer than this light
Closer than your [E] faith, closer [F#] than the [C#m] things that you hold [B] dearly in [A] vain
Closer than [E] this life is falling through again
Giving more [C#m] than anything that [B] you could hope [A] to win
[F#m]
[A]
[E]
And he knows his life is changing, [B]
it's [E] never easy letting go
For the first time you are more, as the child before you grows
And he wonders at the size of your joy today
[E] Even closer than this light, closer than your faith
Closer [A] than the [C#m] things that you hold [B] dearly [A] in vain
Closer than [E] this life is falling through [F#] again
Giving more [C#m] than anything that you could hope [A] to win
[F#m]
[A]
[B]
[F#]
[B] What were you intending, my [F#] darling, to your peace of mind?
Holding out for something less than touching [B] a hand of [E] God
[F#]
[E]
[F#]
[E] [A] Even closer than this light, closer than this faith
Closer than [C#m] the things that you [B] hold dearly [A] in vain
Closer than [E] this life is falling through again
Giving more [C#m] than anything that [B] you could [A] hope to win
[E]
Closer than this life, closer [A] finally
[E]
Living for the only [C#m] thing you [B] ever made complete
A [C#m] thing that you [B] posted [A] perfectly
[F#m] [F#] [A] [F#]
