I (Gadd9) loved her because she was (G) there
And I (Gadd9) knew all along that (G) it wasn't fair
But, (C) I didn't care
And I got the hell out of there
That was a (G) close one
I (Gadd9) kept my freedom in(G)tact
Got (Gadd9) rid of the hassle and (G) rid of the flack
Yeah, I (C) cut me some slack
And, I never thought I'd want it back
That was a (G) close one
That was a (C) close one
And if I hadn't have run
She might've got away with my (G) heart
(So, I played it smart/My precious heart)
That was a (C) close one
I kept my cool and never let down my (G) gaurd
That was a (D) close one (D7sus)

(Gadd9) Winter of seventy (G) nine
(Gadd9) So cold and lonely I (G) found a good woman
She (C) took me inside
And I swear to God, I really tried
That was a (G) close one
Will there (Gadd9) ever be a love of my (G) life
When I'm (Gadd9)out of my prime and out of mind
In the nick of time
And will it (C) feel any nearer as fine
As the (G) close one
That was a (C) close one
And if I hadn't have run
She might've got away with my (G) heart
(So, I played it smart/My precious heart)
That was a (C) close one
I kept my cool and never let down my (G) gaurd
That was a (D) close one (D7sus)
That was a (C) close one
I loved her because she was there
That was a (Gadd9) close one
That was a (C) close one
Winter of seventy nine
That was a (Gadd9) close one
That was a (C) close one
