[VERSE 1]
[C] [Caug] [C6] [Caug] | [C] [Caug] | [C6] [Caug] |
So close, yet so far from paradise
[C] I [Caug]hold, you[C6] in my [Caug]arms, and p[C]aradise
Is [Em]mine, then you [Am]slip away
Like a [F]child at [Dm]play [G]
[C] [Em] [F] [G] | [C] [Caug] | [C6] [Caug] |
And here am I: So close, yet so far from paradise

[VERSE]
[C] [Caug] [C6] [Caug] | [C] [Caug] | [C6] [Caug] |
When you, are close to me, it's paradise
[C] We kiss[Caug] , [C6] oh my [Caug]love, [C]paradise
Is [Em]mine, then suddenly you're [Am]gone from me
Like a floating [F]star, I [Dm]see [G]
And [C]here am I:[Em] So [F]close,[G] yet so far from [C]paradise [C7]

[MIDDLE 8]
[F] I reach out for you,[E7] but each time I do
[Am] I always find you [C7]gone
[Am] I know love is new,[F] I'll take care of you
[D7]In my arms is where [Dm7]you be[G]long

[VERSE]
[C] [Caug] [C6] [Caug] | [C] [Caug] | [C6] [Caug] |
Just, a step away, are we from paradise
[C] Take my [Caug]hand, [C6] come a[Caug]way, to [C]paradise
My [Em]love, I want you [Am]close to me
I need you [F]desperate[Dm]ly [G]

[CODA]
Oh [C]here am I [Em] ... [F] [G]waiting for you
[C]Here am I [Em] ...[F] [G]praying for you
[C] Here am [Em]I
[F] [Dm] [G] | [C] [Caug] | [C6] [Caug] | [C]
So close, yet so far from paradise
