Closer Lyrics
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.

All chords listed below are with respect to the capo.
D RIFF 1:

D RIFF 2:
D Dsus2--H--Dsus4 --> This time stay on the Dsus4 until the Cadd9
VERSE 1:
I went out in the street for a walk in the night.
Had to loosen my head, it's been wound too tight.
I've been standing on the edge
RI 1
After picking a fight with you.
Sometimes my world seems so damn small,
I can't think of nothin' 'cept for me at all.
And my thoughts surround me like a prison wall its true.
CHORUS:
RI 2 dd9
I wanna get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I wanna get closer to you now.
VERSE 2:
It takes all my strength to slow myself down,
My thoughts are screaming, I can't hear a sound.
RI 1
Sometimes I wish there was no one around but you.
Oh tell me you know what I'm talking about
Sometimes you're the sail? of my confusion and doubt.
And then it hurts so bad, you just wanna shout "I'm through."
CHORUS:
RI 2 dd9
I wanna get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I gotta get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I wanna get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I wanna get closer to you now.
BRIDGE:
Please excuse these things I might have said.
You see they come from my frustration, not my head.
And the last thing that I wanna do,
is create a distance,
between me and you. (Little bend on 8th fret of high E)
CHORUS:
RI 2 dd9
I wanna get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I gotta get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I wanna get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I gotta get closer to you now.
VERSE 3:
Well there seem to be two states of mind,
One is visionary, the other blind
And the best that we can hope to find,
RI 1
Is to meet somewhere in between.
Well, the night air has pulled me back a bit
Just when I was about to quit
Trying to get a candle lit
That lets me see what can't be seen.
CHORUS:
RI 2 dd9
I wanna get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I gotta get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I wanna get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I wanna get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I gotta get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I gotta get closer to you now.
RI 2 dd9
I wanna get closer to you now.
