------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Close as You'll Ever Be - The Boomtown Rats ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Mick 2009 Bm Bm Am x4 DDAA (I said) Bm Down at the street around half past nine I heard someone scream I found someone dying Em His throat was slit from ear to ear Bm He mumbled so low I could hardly hear D Em I bent down low so I could hear what he said D Em He said tell me the truth am I nearly that dead D A Bm I said you're close as you'll ever be Oh yea you're as close as you'll ever be Bm Down on the beach around half past five I saw a pretty girl on a deckchair reclining Em A grin split her face from ear to ear Bm I went up close I must have got too near D Em Cos I never saw the guy on the sea-front cafe Leaving his seat come and running my way D A Bm Saying you're close as you'll ever be Oh yea you're close as you'll ever be Bm Bm Am x8 Get up close to me honey Em x8 Bm Bm Am x8 Em x8 Bm Bm Am x8 D A Bm I said you're close as you'll ever be Oh yeah you're close as you'll ever be You've been as close as you'll ever be Close as you'll ever be Bm D A Bm C'mon you're close as you'll ever be Oh yea you're close as you'll ever be I said you're close as you'll ever be Gimme as close as you'll ever be DFAEBm Mick 2009
