Intro: G C G C

Verse 1:
G                                  C
Nothing but a tear, that's all for breakfast
G                               C
Watching you pretend you're unaffected
       G                        C               A/C#
You're pulling our connections, expecting me to let you go
      B/D#
But I won't

Pre-Chorus:
G                       C
No you don't need my protection
    G                               C
But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking
  G                       C                       A/C#
I look in your direction, hoping that the message goes

Chorus:
    B/D#         C    D
Somewhere close to you
       C    D
Close to you
        C                            D
Like so close if they heard you, you wouldn't find out
     C                         D                   G
Just say now, I'm coming right now, to be close to you

Verse 2:
                        C
Said you let it go, you kept it
G                     C
   Working hard to perfect it
G                          C                    A/C#
Now your fear is reckless, and it's out of your control
          B/D#
Would you let it go?

Pre-Chorus:
G                       C
No you don't need my protection
    G                               C
But I'm in love, can't blame me for checking
  G                       C                       A/C#
I look in your direction, hoping that the message goes

Chorus:
    B/D#         C    D
Somewhere close to you
       C    D
Close to you
        C                              D
Like so close if they heard you, you wouldn't find out
       Em                      E
If you let me, I'd be there by now
         C  D
Close to you

( C D )(2x)
