INTRO: E B E
#1.
[E]I want to [A]be your [E]lover,
but your friend is all I've [B]stayed.
I'm only [E]half[E7]way to [A]paradise.
So [E]near, yet [B]so far, a[E]way.
#2.
I long for [E]your lips [A]to kiss [E]my lips,
but just when I think they [B]may,
you lead me [E]half[E7]way to [A]paradise,
so [E]near, yet [B]so far a[E]way..mmm..
CHORUS:
[B]Being close to you is almost [E]heaven.
But [B]seeing you can do just so [E]much.
It [B]hurts me so to know your heart's a [E]treasure..
and that [Bbm]my heart is for[Gb]bidden to [B]tou...[B7]ch, so...
#3.
Put your [E]sweet lips [A]close to [E]my lips,
and tell me that's where they're gonna [B]stay.
Don't lead me [E]half[E7]way to [A]paradise,
[A]Oh, so [E]near, yet [B]so far a[E]way.
OUTRO:
so [E]near, yet [B]so far a[E]way.
so [E]near, yet [B]so far a[E]way.
