Closer And Closer Apart

D G D G

[Verse 1]
D                         G         D
Tell me the truth, don't ask me to lie.
D             Bm        G    A
These are the things we say.
D                            G            D
You don't need proof and I'm not going to try,
D                   Bm       G
But I think we have lost our way.
D                 Bm        G               D
You don't own the sun and I can't raise the moon,
D             Bm        G
So now as the darkness falls,
D               Bm        G        D
Love is so hard won, then over too soon.
D        Bm          G
Another cruel ending calls.

[Chorus]
G         D     Bm          G
All I can do is turn now to you,
G          D          F#m
Holding my hand to my heart.
G          D           Bm          G
All that I know is I'm watching us grow,
G          A       D
Closer and closer apart.

[Verse 2]
D                                 G            D
And now all the kings horses and all the kings men
D              Bm       G
Wait for their clarion call,
D                           G           D
Pride hears its voices, and fear wins again,
D                      Bm         G
And there's nothing to break our fall.

[Chorus]
G         D     Bm          G
All I can do is turn now to you,
G          D          F#m
Holding my hand to my heart.
G          D           Bm          G
All that I know is I'm watching us grow,
G          A       D
Closer and closer apart.
G          A       D
Closer and closer apart.

[Bridge]
Bm       F#m      G     D
Over and over and over again,
    G          D        A
The world only spins one way.
Bm            F#m      G         F#m
The past is a distant flicker by now,
      G                  A
And a lesson for another day.

[Verse 3]
        D               G                D
Now, my sad little boat floats on out to sea
D                Bm      G
And you're almost out of sight,
D             Bm           G           D
I'll remember you, please don't forget me,
D              Bm     G
I whisper with all my might.

[Chorus]
G         D     Bm          G
All I can do is turn now to you,
G          D          F#m
Holding my hand to my heart.
G          D           Bm          G
All that I know is I'm watching us grow-
G         D     Bm           G
All I can do is turn back to you
G             D              F#m
And wave with one hand on my heart,
G          D            Bm         G
All that I know is it's so hard to go.
