Closer Jars of Clay
Standard tuning
(Long synth/bass intro, but hey, here are some guitar chords to play along with!)
Well you thou[C]ght you let go, but youâ??re still hanging on
Mother earthâ[Am]??s slowing down, sheâ??s still spinning around
And we ar[F]e getting dizzy[C]
Iâ??ll[C] drop out of the race for more personal space
Cuz the rocke[Am]ts we're in get so cold and I miss your skin[F]
Itâ??s just how Iâ??m feelin'[C]
If you need[G] more love, well youâ??ve got to get [F]close to me[C]
If you want[G] my love, well youâ??ve got to get cl[F]oser to me[C]
No unreach[C]able itch, if you hemorrhage Iâ??ll stitch
You are tears,[Am] Iâ??m a cheek, Iâ??m a pail on your boat with slow leaks [F]
Out to sea for weeks[C]
If you want[G] my love, well youâ??ve got to get cl[F]ose to me[C]
If you want[G] my love, well youâ??ve got to get cl[F]oser to me[C]
[G]Oh, if you want my love[F]
[C]I donâ??t understand why we canâ??t get close en[Em7]ough[F]
I want your kite str[C]ings tangled in my dreams all wrapped up[Em7] [F]
[C]I donâ??t understand why we canâ??t get close en[Em7]ough[F]
Iâ??ll be the comet[C]s that are fallinâ?? from the sky you light upâ?[Em7]¦[F]
Light up[C]
Youâ??re my shirt, I[C] an arm
Iâ??m the tick, youâ??re the bomb
Youâ??re the L and [Am]the V, Iâ??m the O and the E, and weâ?¦[F]
[G]Am I speaking clearly?[C]
If you want [G]my love, well youâ??ve got to get close to me[F] [C]
[G]Ooh, if you want my [F]loveâ?¦
[C]I donâ??t understand why we canâ??t get close en[Em7]ough[F]
I want your kite str[C]ings tangled in my dreams all wrapped up[Em7] [F]
[C]I donâ??t understand why we canâ??t get close en[Em7]ough[F]
Iâ??ll be the comet[C]s that are fallinâ?? from the sky you light upâ?[Em7]¦[F]
Because I donâ??[C]t understand why we canâ??t get close enough[Em7] [F]
Iâ??ll miss the shiver[C]s in my spine every time that we touch.[Em7]
