Key: E
Introduction:
E A
And the morning light was breaking
E A
Slowly moving across the bed
E A
He gets up without her waking
E A
To the voices in his head
E A
Through the shadows in the hallway
E A
To the room they painted blue
E A
And on the inside he is frightened
E A
At a loss for what to do
Pre-Chorus
E E/F# E/G#A F#
Until he opens up his eyes
E E/F# E/G#A
And the angels all look down
E
Even closer than this life
A
Closer than your faith
C#m
Closer than the things
B A
That you hold dearly and in vain
E
Closer than this life
A
Falling through again
C#m
Giving more than anything
B A E E/F# E/G#A
That you could hope to win
And he knows his life is changing
E
Even closer than this life
A
Closer than your faith
C#m
Closer than the things
B A
That you hold dearly and in vain
E
Closer than this life
A
Falling through again
C#m
Giving more than anything
B A E E/F# E/G#A
That you could hope to win
B
And what would you intend to find?
A
Solitude? Your peace of mind?
B
Holding out for something less
A E E/F# E/G# E E/F# E/G#
Than touching the hand of God?
E
Even closer than this life
A
Closer than your faith
C#m
Closer than the things
B A
That you hold dearly and in vain
E
Closer than this life
A
Falling through again
C#m
Giving more than anything
B A E E/F# E/G#A
That you could hope to win
E
Closer than this life
A
Closer finally
C#m
Living for the only thing
B A
You ever made complete
C#m
Oh, for the one thing
B A
That you both did perfectly
A
Ah - ha
C#mA
Ah - ha
A E
Ah - ha
