So Close Chords & Lyrics - Hall And Oates

Tuning: Standard

This a wonderful Hall & Oates track co-written & co-produced by Jon Bon Jovi. Though the
is keyboard based, it can be played well on an acoustic. I have tabbed this song based
the origial track and not the unplugged version which appears on the same album. The
can be barred or played normally too. So enjoy!!

[INTRO]

[G] - [Am] - [F] - [G] (4x)
[G] - [Am] - [F]

[VERSE 1]

[C] ?
They met on the dance floor, in the old high school gym
[Bb] He fell like a rock, She [F]kinda liked him
And his [Dm]heart beat like thunder, as they [G]moved cross the [Am]floor
But when the [F]music was [G]over, she slipped [Bb]out of his arms
(Riff)
And out the door

[VERSE 2]

[C] ?
Yeah a man loves a woman, but he can't understand
Why she's [Bb]sad when she stares, at the [F]ring on her hand
Then she [Dm]sits in some club, where the [G]long shadows [Am]fall
Drops a [F]coin in the [C]jukebox, not the [G]phone on the wall

[CHORUS]

[G]So [Am]close, Yet [F]so far a[G]way
[G]So [Am]close, Yet [F]so far a[G]way
We be[F]lieve in tom[C]orrow, maybe [G]more than to[Am]day
We're [F]so close, so [G]close
(Riff)
Yet so far away

[VERSE 2]

[C] ?
Some people think, if you really believe
[Bb] That's all you need, to s[F]olve all the mysteries
Well [Dm]I know someone, who just [G]heads for the [Am]sun
She says, &[F]quot;I don't wanna be w[G]ise, I just wanna stay young"

[CHORUS]

[G]So [Am]close, Yet [F]so far a[G]way
[G]So [Am]close, Yet [F]so far a[G]way
We be[F]lieve in tom[C]orrow, but we're [G]stuck in to[Am]day
Baby we're [F]so close, so [G]close
(Riff)
So far away

[VERSE 3]
There's a [F]restless look in your eye tonight
There's a [C]secret hurt in my heart
And the [F]dream that pulls us together girl
Is a [Bb]dream
That's gonna [F]tear us, tear us apart

[VERSE 4]
There's a [G]restless look in your eye tonight
Are you [D]looking for some / way / out / of / here
We gotta [G]fight, to keep it together girl
For the [Em]dream [F#m] that [G]keeps us

[CHORUS]

[A]So [Bm]close, Yet [G]so far a[A]way
[A]So [Bm]close, Yet [G]so far a[A]way
Now [G]who would have thought [D]girl, that we'd [A]end up this [Bm]way
Livin' [G]so close, so [A]close

So far away

"The rest of it is A - [Bm] - G - A and fades till the end"
