Closer chords

[VERSE 1]
And the morning light was brea[E]king [A]
Slowly moving acros[E]s the [A]bed
He gets up without her wakin[E]g [A]
To the voices in his head [E] [A]
Through the shadows in the hallwa[E]y [A]
To the room they painted blue[E] [A]
And on the inside he is frightened [E] [A]
At a loss for what to do [E] [A]

[PRE-CHORUS]
[E] [E/F#] [E/G#] [A] (E chord, base note walk F#-G#-A)
Until he opens up his eyes
And the angels all look [E]do[E/F#]wn [E/G#] [A]


[CHORUS]
Even closer than this life [E]
Closer than your faith[A]
Closer than the thing[C#m]s
That you hold dear[B]ly and in vain[A]
Closer than this life[E]
Falling through agai[A]n
Giving more than anythin[C#m]g
[B] [A] Hold [A] [E] [E/F#] [E/G#] [A]
That you could hope to win

[VERSE 2]

And he knows his life is changing
It's never easy letting go
For the first time you are mortal
As the child before you grows
And he wonders at the sight
Of the joy that he has found

[CHORUS]
Even closer than this life [E]
Closer than your faith[A]
Closer than the thing[C#m]s
That you hold dear[B]ly and in vain[A]
Closer than this lif[E]e
Falling through agai[A]n
Giving more than anythin[C#m]g
That you could [B]hope to win [A]

[B] [B] [A] [A]

[BRIDGE]

[B]And what would you intend to find?

[A]Solitude? Your peace of mind?
[B]Holding out for something less
[A]Than touching the hand of God? [E] [E/F#] [E/G#] [E] [E/F#] [E/G#]

[CHORUS]
Even closer than this life [E]
Closer than your faith[A]
Closer than the thing[C#m]s
That you hold dear[B]ly and in vain [A]
Closer than this life[E]
Falling through agai[A]n
Giving more than anythin[C#m]g
That you could ho[B]pe to win [A]

Closer than this lif[E]e
Closer f[A]inally
Living for the o[C#m]nly thing
You ever m[B]ade complete [A]
Oh, for the [C#m]one thing
That you both d[B]id perfectl[A]y

[B]Ah - [A]ha
