Closer
From "The Song Inside the Sounds of Breaking Down"
There are already two chord charts submitted for this, but neither of them
are complete or entirely accurate (in my opinion). Here it is with the tabs
and correct chord charts.
Intro - D
(see tab below for xylephone part to play under the intro and verse 1)
Verse 1
D G
Come closer, closer to me.
Bm7 A/C# G
Find me broken, find me bleeding
D G
cause I need more now than a fairy tale,
Bm7 A/C# G
a God who lives in a book. I need someone real.
Chorus
D Asus
So would you come? Would you come?
Em7 D/F# G Gmaj7
If I begged You, would You come closer to me now?
Verse 2
D G
Come closer, closer to me.
Bm7 A/C# G
Find me broken, find me on my knees,
D G
cause I need more now than philosophy.
Bm A/C# G
Some God in outer space doesn't mean anything to me.
Chorus x2
(solo is chorus chords) end on D
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_mark_mcmillan/closer_tab.html ]
Bridge
D Asus
Son of David, don't pass me by,
Em D/F# G
cause I am naked, I'm poor and I'm blind.

I may work on the solo later, but I kinda like putting my own solo's in
when I play live. If anyone really wants it, let me know.
If you have any input or corrections, check out my blog for more info and
let me know if you have any songs you need help with. God bless!
