Outro: (DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb)
Close to my skin
Someone who's been
I'm a falling in
Disasters are
Just another star
Falling in my yard
John says to live above hell
My will is well
Long to be with
Someone to tell
I love your smell

A augmentedA tip for the last instrumental part: from 17th to 8th bar is a big step,
if you don't want to let it sound clumsy, then you can always use your thumb for the 8
on the bass an the melody at the same time :)
