IntroEm7Am7DmGAm7Verse 1Am
She'll read your mind
Dm7
She's smart as a whip
Am
She'll suck you dry
Dm7
But look at how much I drip?
G
At the point of ecstasy
E7/G#
I write a symphony
Am
Of poetry in motion
And leavin' me there to die
Verse 2AmDm7
I tell myself let no one take her place
Am
To confide in someone
Dm7
And look at how much I paid?
G
I want you next to me
E7/G#
Call it telepathy
Am
We drifted into vision
And look at how much we see?
InterludeDm/F
Ahh
F/GAm

ChorusAmDm7GAmDm
I just wanna get closer than close to you
Am
I know that one way or the other
Dm7G
Any test of my faith will do
Dm7Em7
And lovers fall for lovers' friends
We make each other cry
F
Livin' in each others lives
G#CG#
And tryin' to make the fantasy come true

Verse 3Am
Your soul is naked
Dm7
It tells you what you want?
Am
I read your letter
Dm7
And look at how close I've come?

There's more for us to see

In this philosophy

We both end up in Heaven
And look at how close we'd be
