How do I get close to you?

Even if you don't notice as I admire you on the subway
A         Gbm                 D
When it's dark outside your house
    Bm                A

And keep a padlock on the door, well

And sit inside so very quietly

You're keeping a dead girl in the closet

And then go back to university
