Intro: E Dbm Abm B  x2

E
Perfect
Dbm                              Abm
I'll be the one that you've been searching for
B                              E
I'll ditch the car and get you at the door
Dbm                           Abm
Ensure my words have not been said before

B

    E
And I'll give
Dbm                     Abm
You everything but only show one side
B                  E
Ever adventuring a shining light
Dbm                   Abm
The positivity that's in your life

B

Gbm                                 Dbm
But I can't keep pretending I'm somebody
     Gbm                           B
When I can get knocked out by everyone

                                 A
And you'll forget it when you're closer
            B
When we get closer
                  E                Dbm
You'll slowly get over, o-o-o-over me
             Am
So don't get closer

E Dbm Abm B

   E
Oh maybe I'll
Dbm                     Abm
Still be the Romeo that puts love first
B                            E
But words become cliched and sound rehearsed
Dbm                     Abm
I'll be a million miles away

B
 
   Gbm                              Dbm
But I can't keep pretending I'm somebody
    Gbm                            B
When I can get knocked out by everyone

                                 A 
And you'll forget it when you're closer
            B  
When we get closer
                  E                Dbm
You'll slowly get over, o-o-o-over me
              A
And as we get older
           B
As we grow older
                 E                                      Dbm 
You'll know that from afar is the best place to be with me
             Am
So don't get closer

           A   Dbm
Oh darling don't

B              E        A 
Don't hold my hand so close
   Dbm     B
Oh darling don't
               E      A
Don't hold my hand so close

    Gbm 
But I can't keep pretending
   Gbm 
No I can't keep pretending
  Gbm                              B
No I can't keep pretending I'm someone

                                 A 
And you'll forget it when you're closer
            B  
When we get closer
                  E                Dbm
You'll slowly get over, o-o-o-over me
              A 
And as we get older
           B 
As we grow older
                 E                                     Dbm  
You'll know that from afar is the best place to be with me
             Am
So don't get closer
