Gordon Lightfoot - Never Too Close


CAPO: 2nd Fret


[INTRO:] G+G  C majorC  G+G  E minorEm D MajorD  G+G

[VERSE 1:]
           C majorC           G+G
I remember when best friends were jealous lovers
      C majorC         D MajorD     G+G
Lying warm asleep beneath the covers
       C majorC        G+G
Dreaming of belonging to each other

[CHORUS:]
     C majorC        G+G
And so we tried, never too close
     D MajorD       G+G
Never too near, dying in time
     C majorC          G+G
And so we cried, but that is alright
        D MajorD
We meant no one no harm


[VERSE 2:]
  G+G        C majorC          G+G
I remember when best friends were not mistaken
         C majorC       D MajorD     G+G
Long before that freedom was forsaken
              C majorC              G+G
Learning about all the good things in the world worth believing


[CHORUS:]
     C majorC        G+G
And so we tried, never too close
     D MajorD       G+G
Never too near, dying in time
     C majorC          G+G
And so we cried, but that is alright
        D MajorD
We meant no one no harm


[INSTRUMENTAL:] G+G  C majorC  G+G  E minorEm D MajorD  G+G

[VERSE 3:]
            C majorC          G+G
I remember when jealous lovers would stick together
          C majorC            D MajorD     G+G
When the days were warm and the nights more tender
         C majorC           G+G
When the bonds of truth were not made to measure


[CHORUS:]
     C majorC        G+G
And so we tried, never too close
     D MajorD       G+G
Never too near, dying in time
     C majorC          G+G
And so we cried, but that is alright
        D MajorD
We meant no one no harm


[CHORUS:]
C majorC        G+G
Try, try as you will
     D MajorD        G+G
Following dreams never fulfilled
     C majorC          G+G
And so we cried, but that is alright
        D MajorD
We meant no one no harm
