Mary Chapin Carpenter - Closer and closer apart

^DTell me the truth, don't a^Gsk me to l^Die. ^DThese are the ^Bmthings we ^Gsay. ^{A D}You don't need proof and I'm ^Gnot going to ^Dtry, ^DBut I think we have ^Bmlost our ^Gway. ^DYou don't own the ^Bmsun and I ^Gcan't raise the ^Dmoon, ^DSo now as the ^Bmdarkness f^Galls, ^DLove is so hard ^Bmwon, then ^Gover too ^Dsoon. ^DAnother c^Bmruel ending ^Gcalls.

^GAll I can ^Ddo is ^Bmturn now to ^Gyou, ^GHolding my ^Dhand to my ^F#mheart. ^GAll that I ^Dknow is I'm ^Bmwatching us ^Ggrow, ^GCloser and ^Acloser a^Dpart.

^DAnd now all the kings horses and a^Gll the kings ^Dmen ^DWait for their ^Bmclarion c^Gall, ^DPride hears its voices, and ^Gfear wins ag^Dain, ^DAnd there's nothing to ^Bmbreak our f^Gall.

^GAll I can ^Ddo is ^Bmturn now to ^Gyou, ^GHolding my ^Dhand to my ^F#mheart. ^GAll that I ^Dknow is I'm ^Bmwatching us ^Ggrow, ^GCloser and ^Acloser a^Dpart. ^GCloser and ^Acloser a^Dpart.

^BmOver and ^F#mover and ^Gover a^Dgain, The ^Gworld only ^Dspins one^A way. ^BmThe past is a ^F#mdistant f^Glicker by ^F#mnow, And a ^Glesson for another ^Aday.

Now, my ^Dsad little boat ^Gfloats on out to ^Dsea ^DAnd you're almost^Bm out of ^Gsight, ^DI'll remember ^Bmyou, please d^Gon't forget ^Dme, ^DI whisper with ^Bmall my ^Gmight.

^GAll I can ^Ddo is ^Bmturn now to ^Gyou, ^GHolding my ^Dhand to my ^F#mheart. ^GAll that I ^Dknow is I'm ^Bmwatching us ^Ggrow- ^GAll I can ^Ddo is ^Bmturn back to ^Gyou ^GAnd wave with ^Done hand on my ^F#mheart, ^GAll that I ^Dknow is it's ^Bmso hard to ^Ggo.
