Ooh, yeah. Oh yeah, yeah. 
 
 
(verse 1) 
G                       D 
Across the miles, it's funny to me, 
Em7       D 
How far away you are, 
       Cadd9 
But how near you seem to be, 
G                               D             B 
I could talk all night just to hear you breath, 
Em7         D         Cadd9 
I spent my life just living this dream,

You're all I'll ever need,

I've never been, I've never been this close, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
With all the loves I used to know, 
I kept my distance, yeah, I never let go, 
But in your arms I know I'm safe, 
'Cause I've never been held, 
An' I've never neen kissed in this way, 
Yeah, you're all I'll ever need, 
You're all I'll ever need, 
 
(chorus) 
'Cause you give me strength, you give me hope, 
You give me someone to love, someone to hold, 
When I'm in your arms I need you to know, 
I've never been, I've never been this,

Close enough to see it's true, 
G 
Close enough to trust in you,
