Close To You chords by Niki Niki

Verse 1:


     E
The flowers of the new and laughter of the past

         F#                  G#m
They're beautiful like you, beauty unsurpassed

Gone with a whisper, you fall asleep like death

F#                           B
Breaking through the earth, your smile shines again

Verse 2:


  E
My empty gratitude, another empty thank you

   F#                         G#
I finally learnt regret from words I've always said

     E
Never meant to speak to hurt, yet it hurt to put in words

F#                        G#m              F#
Goodbye wherever you are, goodbye unbroken heart

Pre-Chorus:


  C#m                        B
In truth I want to feel, the truth I want to see

                                    F#
I'm trying to embrace your drifting heart and smile

Chorus:


           E                                    F#
Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes

                  D#m                                         G#m
I keep on looking forward at you, hoping that your light will never pass me by

                  E                                    F#
I wonder what the stars that sparkle in your eyes are hiding from my mind

                G#m                      F#
Hiding from my open heart and from your open heart

                  E                                   F#
Together, you and I will always be alive, connected, close to you I'll stay

                 D#m                                    G#m               F#
As long as I can hold your hand again and again, forever, I will find my way

              E                                  F#
You may never answer back my call, but you smile back at me with grace

                G#m                             F#
And everything remains the same, this pain I'll soon awake from

        E                F#
What I see will melt all away

         B
With my tears

Verse 3:


   E
A shape of broken line will never be the same

      F#                       G#m      F#
It'll never find new life as a body of remains

   Emaj7               E
A soul without a form, endlessly it'll chase

    F#            B      Bm           B
But will my broken heart find another place?

Pre-Chorus:


   C#m                       D#m7
In truth I want to feel, the truth I'll never see

     E                            F#
I'm trying to erase how far we've walked in miles

Chorus:


           E                                         F#
Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears as I look up at the sky

                   D#m                                    G#m
I keep on looking forward at it hoping that I'll find you soon enough in time

                 E                                 F#
I wonder if the stars that sparkle in my eyes will eventually subside

               G#m
Hiding from my endless heartbeat, from my endless heartbeat

                  E                                  F#
Together, you and I will always be alive, committed, close to you I'll stay

                 D#m                                        G#m
As long as I can hold your hand again and again, then maybe I will find a way

             E                                  F#
I can never travel back in time, but they smile back at me, those days

               G#m                              F#
And everything remains the same, this pain I'll soon awake from

        E                F#
What I see will melt all away

        B
With my tears

Bridge:


E
Replaying time again, replaying time again

G#m                   F#
Repeating time again, repeating time again

E
Reflected in my heart, reflected in my heart

F#
Your never ending laughter


Spoken: Papyrus...


             E once
Whenever I begin to feel the burning tears...


Ending:

Key Change:


F                                    G
Can't you feel the burning tears overflowing from my eyes?

                  Em                                      Am
I keep on looking forward at you hoping that in time your light will pass me by

               F                                   G
Now I know the stars that sparkle in your eyes are guiding me to light

              Am
Guiding to my open heart and to your open heart

                  F                                  G
Together, you and I will always be alive, connected, close to you I'll stay

                Em                                          Am
Time will never hold my tears or hold my feelings down they pour like silent rain

               F                                 G
All the colors forming back the life I knew when all remained the same

              Am                          G
Somehow in a finite time, this time I'll find my way out

       F                      G
And I see I've barely reached you

          C
And your heart
