A  Dm  A  Dm
F#m  A  Dmaj7


Verse 1:
A                  Dm             A
 It brings out the nervousness in me
                 Dm     A
This talk of the future
              Dm              A
And all of it moving at light speed
              Dm   F#m  A  Dmaj7
Too much to devour


Verse 2:
A             Dm             A
 Pray that we make it in one piece
               Dm      A
But who are we fooling
            Dm             A
A fire that keeps a nation warm
          Dm    F#m  A  Dmaj7
Or it’s undoing


Chorus:
           F#m      A
And we are closer tonight
            D
Closer than ever
       F#m      A
We are closer tonight
               Dmaj7
The touch of a finger


Verse 3:
A                Dm             A
 And arrows that fly across the sea
           Dm   A
Eyeing the hour
             Dm              A
A magic that we don’t dare repeat
               Dm       F#m  A  D
The trick of unraveling


Verse 4:
A               Dm             A
 And driverless cars on Market Street
             Dm     A
Around every corner
               Dm
But what is to stop us before
A               Dm    F#m  A  Dmaj7
We turn on each other


Chorus:
       F#m      A
We are closer tonight
            Dmaj7
Closer than ever
       F#m      A
We are closer tonight
               Dmaj7
The touch of a finger
       F#m      A
We are closer tonight
            D
Closer than ever


Interlude:
A  Dm  A  Dm
F#m  A  Dmaj7  D


Chorus:
       F#m      A
We are closer tonight
            D
Closer than ever
       F#m      A
We are closer tonight
               D
The touch of a finger
       F#m      A
We are closer tonight
          D
Closer to heaven


Outro:
A  Dm  A  Dm
A  D  A
