Intro:
G Em C ( x2 )
Verse 1:
G Em
When a few drinks turn into midnight dancing
C
And the pillow talk turns into weekend plans
G Em
That early morning ends with, "I'll call you again"
C
But one of us is lying, one of us is trying
Pre-Chorus:
G Em
There's a reason why the heart has a ribcage
C
There's a reason why a car has a handbrake
G Em C
I'm a hopeless romantic from the first second on the first date
Chorus:
G
I guess we were just as close as a first kiss
Em C
Closer to God when you're down on your knees and praying
G Em
Yeah, close like a secret, you swore you would keep
C
But somehow you let it slip away
G Em
So close you can feel, it hurts when it's real
C
'Cause the other don't feel the same
G Em C
Guess close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades
G
Horseshoes and hand grenades
Em C
(Close but no cigar, close but no cigar, close but no cigar)
Verse 2:
G Em
It's my fault for thinking too far in the future
C
It's your fault for going too far, it confused me
G Em
But when you're wrapped in the moment
C
You don't know it till the sunlight shows it
Chorus:
G
I guess we were just as close as a first kiss
Em C
Closer to God when you're down on your knees and praying
G Em
Yeah, close like a secret, you swore you would keep
C
But somehow you let it slip away
G Em
So close you can feel, it hurts when it's real
C
'Cause the other don't feel the same
G Em C
Guess close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades
G
Horseshoes and hand grenades
Em C
