(Long synth/bass intro, but hey, here are some guitar chords to play along with!)
C majorC
Well you thought you let go, but you're still hanging on
A minorAm
Mother earth's slowing down, she's still spinning around
FF C majorC
And we are getting dizzy
C majorC
I'll drop out of the race for more personal space
A minorAm FF
Cuz the rockets we're in get so cold and I miss your skin
C majorC
It's just how I'm feelin'
G+G FF C majorC
If you need more love, well you've got to get close to me
G+G FF C majorC
If you want my love, well you've got to get closer to me
C majorC
No unreachable itch, if you hemorrhage I'll stitch
A minorAm FF
You are tears, I'm a cheek, I'm a pail on your boat with slow leaks
C majorC
Out to sea for weeks
G+G FF C majorC
If you want my love, well you've got to get close to me
G+G FF C majorC
If you want my love, well you've got to get closer to me
G+G FF
Oh, if you want my love
C majorC 
E minor 7Em7 FF
I don't understand why we can't get close enough
C majorC E minor 7Em7 FF
I want your kite strings tangled in my dreams all wrapped up
C majorC E minor 7Em7 FF
I don't understand why we can't get close enough
C majorC E minor 7Em7 FF
I'll be the comets that are fallin' from the sky you light up
C majorC
Light up
C majorC
You're my shirt, I an arm
I'm the tick, you're the bomb
A minorAm FF
You're the L and the V, I'm the O and the E, and we
G+G C majorC
A minorAm I speaking clearly?
G+G FF C majorC
If you want my love, well you've got to get close to me
G+G FF
Ooh, if you want my love
C majorC E minor 7Em7 FF
I don't understand why we can't get close enough
C majorC E minor 7Em7 FF
I want your kite strings tangled in my dreams all wrapped up
C majorC E minor 7Em7 FF
I don't understand why we can't get close enough
C majorC E minor 7Em7 FF
I'll be the comets that are fallin' from the sky you light up
C majorC E minor 7Em7 FF
Because I don't understand why we can't get close enough
C majorC E minor 7Em7
I'll miss the shivers in my spine every time that we touch.
