Chords for Emerson, Lake & Palmer: Closer To Believing (lyrics)

[C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
[C#] I am closer to believing than I ever was before
On the crest of [G#m] desolation, must thou crash upon the shore
[C#] And with the driftwood of acquaintance, light the fire to love once more
[G#m] I am windblown, _ _ I [C#] am time
_ _ To _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
be closer to believing, to be just a breath away
On the depth of [G#m] inspiration, I would buy back yesterday
[C#] But there's no cooler illusion, there's no sharper point to pay
[G#m] As I reach out, _ [G#] it slips [C#] away _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
From the opium of [G#] custom, to the ledges of extremes
[C#] Don't believe it till you've [D#m] held it, life is seldom what it seems
[C#] Lay your heart upon the table, and in the shuffling of dreams
[B] Remember who on [C#] earth you are _
_ I _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ believe in _ _ _ _
[C#] _ you _ _ _ _
[B] Indeed you, _ [D#m] _ we want [C#] us
But _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
of course you know I love you, oh what else am I here for
Only you, not [F#] face to [B] face, but side by side forevermore
And I [C#] need to be here with you, for without you what am I
Just another fool out [B] searching for some [C#] heaven in [B] the sky
Take me [G#] closer to believing, take me forward, lead me on
Through [F#] collision and confusion, while there's light beneath the sun
You [C#] are the reason I continue, so near for so long
[B] So close yet so [C#] far away _ _
_ I _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ believe in _ _ _ _
[C#] you _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ You [D#m] _ _ [C#] want us to live forever
_ Don't [F#] let the curtain [F#m] fall
_ _ [C#]
Measure after measure
_ Of [F#]
writing [D#] on the wall _ _ _
That burns [F#m] so brightly, it [C#] blinds us all _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] I believe in _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
you
[D#m] _ We want [C#] us to be together
_ [F#] On Sundays in the room
[F#m] _ _ [A] _ [C#] Closer than forever
_ _ [F#] I'll dance on with [D#] the grain
_ To _ _ [F#m] ride the storms of love [C#] again _
So _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ be closer to believing, though your world is torn apart
For [G#m] a moment changes [B] all things, and [C#] to end is but to [B] start
[C#] If your journey's unrewarded, and your God left up your heart
[G#m] You are windblown, _ [C#] but you are not blown
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
