(I said)
[Bm]Down at the street around half past nine
I heard someone scream
I found someone dying
His [Em]throat was slit from ear to ear
He [Bm]mumbled so low I could hardly hear
I [D]bent down low so I could [Em]hear what he said
He said [D]tell me the truth am I [Em]nearly that dead
I said you're [D]close as you'll [A]ever [Bm]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
A [Em]grin split her face from ear to ear
I [Bm]went up close I must have got too near
Cos I [D]never saw the guy on the [Em]sea-front cafe
Leaving his seat come and running my way
Saying you're [D]close as you'll [A]ever [Bm]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
I said you're [D]close as you'll [A]ever [Bm]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]
C'mon you're [D]close as you'll [A]ever [Bm]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
[D] [F#m] [A] [Em] [Bm]
