Closer

Here's what I've come up with for Peter Himmelman's "Closer" off the album "Flown this Acid World." It is not perfect, but I think it sounds very close to the recording. There is one line of lyrics which I am not sure of. I did not include the lyrics at the end of the song which appear in the background.

Cadd9 Had to loosen my head, it's been wound too tight. G I've been standing on the edge D D RIFF 1 After picking a fight with you.

VERSE 2: D It takes all my strength to slow myself down, Cadd9 My thoughts are screaming, I can't hear a sound. G D RIFF 1 Sometimes I wish there was no one around but you. D Oh tell me you know what I'm talking about Cadd9 Sometimes you're the sail? of my confusion and doubt. G Cadd9 And then it hurts so bad, you just wanna shout "I'm through."

VERSE 3: D Well there seem to be two states of mind, Cadd9 One is visionary, the other blind G And the best that we can hope to find, D RIFF 1 Is to meet somewhere in between. D Well, the night air has pulled me back a bit Cadd9 Just when I was about to quit G Trying to get a candle lit Cadd9 That lets me see what can't be seen.
