Tabs

John Mark McMillan
Closer
From "The Song Inside the Sounds of Breaking Down"

There are already two chord charts submitted for this, but neither of them
are complete or entirely accurate (in my opinion). Here it is with the tabs
and correct chord charts.


Intro - Chord diagramD MajorD
(see tab below for xylephone part to play under the intro and verse 1)


Verse 1
      Chord diagramG+G
Come closer, closer to me.
         Chord diagramG+G
Find me broken,    find me bleeding
              Chord diagramG+G
cause I need more now than a fairy tale,
  Chord diagramG+G
a God who lives in a book. I need someone real.
Chorus
               Chord diagramAsusAsus
So would you come? Would you come?
                           Chord diagramGmaj7Gmaj7
If I begged You, would You come closer to me now?


Verse 2
       Chord diagramG+G
Come closer, closer to me.
          Chord diagramG+G
Find me broken,    find me on my knees,
              Chord diagramG+G
cause I need more now than philosophy.
     Chord diagramG+G
Some God in outer space doesn't mean anything to me.


Chorus x2
(solo is chorus chords) end on Chord diagramD MajorD


Bridge
Chord diagramAsusAsus
Son of David, don't pass me by,
  Chord diagramG+G
cause I am naked,    I'm poor and I'm blind.

I may work on the solo later, but I kinda like putting my own solo's in
when I play live. If anyone really wants it, let me know.
