C Am
closer than a girl can get
G F
to trouble if she hasn't yet
(walk down)
gotten it
C Am
well it started out like any show
G F
up from the dark to the lights warm glow
C Am
and did you hear that dedication
G F
when I stepped up and out on stage and
C Am
you came on lion, all courageous,
G F
and I stepped up to your cage
C Am
just to see if we would go
G F
across the bridge I thought you'd know
C Am
and now the sun is up already hot
G F
with two rays onto straying thoughts
C Am
and each one warms to make me glow
G F
or burn me if I'm not careful
C Am
and it's not hard, it's too easy,
G F
I get it, and I get to be
C Am
closer than a girl can get
G F
to trouble if she hasn't yet gotten it
(musical interlude: C Am G F X2)
C Am
so now can I step lightly back between
G F
where you are and where I've been
C Am
back into that thing we do
G F
where it's me and it's just you
C Am
and it's not hard, it's too easy
G F
I get in, and I get to be
C Am
closer than a girl can get
G F
to trouble without getting in it.
