INTRO   C Em Am Em C     

C         Em7        Am       C        Am 
 So close,    yet so far from paradise 
C           Em7      Am        C 
 I hold you,   in my arms, and paradise 
   Em             Am 
Is mine, then you slip away 
       Fmaj7     G7       C       Em 
Like a child, at play, and here am  I 
   Fmaj7  G7                C         Am C 
So close,   yet so far from paradise 

C     Em7     Am                 C         Am C 
 When you, are close to me, it's paradise 
C   Em7    Am    Em    C 
 We kiss,  oh my love, paradise 
   Em         Em7             Am 
Is mine, then suddenly you're gone from me 
                Fmaj7   G        C       Em 
Like a floating star, I see, and here  am  I 
   Fmaj7  G7              C         Em C 
So close, yet so far from  paradise 

Fmaj7                   G 
 I   reach out for you,  but each time I do 
Am                 Am7     Fmaj7 
 I always find you gone 
Fmaj7                   C     Fmaj7       
 I   know  love is new,  I'll take care of you 
G7             Am          G    G7     
In my arms is where you be-long 

C     Em7   Am             Em        C         Em Am 
 Just,    a step away, are we,  from paradise 
C        Em7   Am             C             Em 
 Take my hand,   come away, to paradise, my love 
           Am 
I want you   close to me 
           Fmaj7       G       C         Em   
I need you   desperate-ly,  oh here am I 
Fmaj7        
 Waiting for you 
C         Em   
Here am I 
Fmaj7             C            Fmaj7 
Praying for you,  Here am I so close  
       G        G7   C   
yet so far from para-dise______________
