(I said)
  [Bm]Down at the street around half past nine
I heard someone scream
I found someone dying
His [Em]throat was slit from ear to ear
He [Bm]mumbled so low I could hardly hear
I [D]bent down low so I could [Em]hear what he said
He said [D]tell me the truth am I [Em]nearly that dead
   I said you're [D]close as you'll [A]ever [Bm]be
Oh yea you're as close as you'll ever be

  [Bm]Down on the beach around half past five
I saw a pretty girl on a deckchair reclining
A [Em]grin split her face from ear to ear
I [Bm]went up close I must have got too near
Cos I [D]never saw the guy on the  [Em]sea-front cafe
      Leaving his seat come and running my way
Saying you're [D]close as you'll [A]ever [Bm]be
Oh yea you're close as you'll ever be

[Bm] [Bm] [Am]        x8
Get up close to me honey

[Bm] [Bm] [Am]        x8
[Bm] [Bm] [Am]        x8

 I said you're     [D]close as you'll [A]ever [Bm]be
Oh yeah you're     close as you'll ever be
You've been as     close as you'll ever be
                   Close as you'll ever be

[Bm]

 C'mon you're [D]close as you'll [A]ever [Bm]be
Oh yea you're close as you'll ever be
I said you're close as you'll ever be
     Gimme as close as you'll ever be

[D]       [F#m]     [A]       [Em]      [Bm]
