Close to you (1990) (video) (midi)

Dm - Bb - C - A (2x)

Dm

1. She was a Jezebel, this burstin' queen,

Bb

livin' her life like a bad sweet dream,

C

tellin' me lies when the truth was clear,

A

I think she knew what I wanted to hear.

Dm

Spinnin' around like a wheel on fire,

Bb

walkin' the tightrope on love's highwire,

C A

a fatal attraction is where I'm at, there's no escapin' me.

Dm Bb C Dm

I just wanna be close to you, and do all the things you want me to !

Dm Bb C Dm

I just wanna be close to you, and show you the way I feel !

Dm C Bb

2. I feel love when I'm lying in the midnight hour,

C Bb C Dm

holding you's just like a dream, love is never what it seems.

Dm C Bb

When we touch and you're holdin' me the way you feel

C Bb

girl, you make my dreams come true,

A A7

you make my dreams come true ! + CHORUS

Dm

3. She was a Gemini on the cusp of Mars,

Bb

she holds me back but she goes too far,

C A

windin' me up just to let me down, so emotional gagged and bound.

Dm A

There's more to this than meets the eye, a devil woman locked inside,

C A

with the full moon rising I was scared, I think I was possessed.

Dm Bb C Dm

I just wanna be close to you, and do all the things you want me to !

Dm Bb C Dm

I just wanna be close to you, and show you the way I feel !

Dm C Bb

4. I feel love everytime your body's next to mine,

C Bb C Dm

something deep inside of me wants to love you endlessly.

Dm C Bb

When we touch, girl, you don't know how it makes me feel,

C Bb A A7

I just can't believe it's real, I can't believe it's real !

+ CHORUS + Dm - Dm - Bb - A (2x)

Dm Bb

5. She had an attitude I can't explain, you never know if your in flame,

C A

tying me up with elastic words, I'm on a countdown till I get hurt.

Dm Bb

Her blood was hot, she burned so bright, a neon sign there in the night,

C A

It's hard to say if I went too far, my heart still bears a scar.

Dm Bb - C - Dm

+ I just wanna be close to you ! (2x)

+ repeat verse 1 + CHORUS (2x) ...
