Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
You’re  in  my arms
And  all the  world is  calm
The  music playing  on for  only  two
So  close  together
And  when  I’m with you
So  close  to feeling  alive
A  life  goes by
Romantic  dreams  will  stop
So  I bid  mine  goodbye  and  never knew
So  close  was waiting,
waiting here  with you
And  now  forever  I know
All that  I wanted  to hold you
So close
 bass(  - )  -
So close  to reaching  that famous  happy end
Almost believing  this  was not  pretend
And  now  you’re  beside  me and  look how  far we’ve  come
So  far we  are so close
 | C7alt -
 | D7alt - [Ddim]
 Dm7 - C#maj - Bmaj - F#6/9
 How could I face the faceless days
If  I should  lose  you now?
We’re  so  close  to reaching  that  famous happy end
And  almost believing  this  was not  pretend
Let’s  go  on dreaming  for we know  we are
So  close
So  close
And  still so  far
