Closer To Believing Chords

  			Intro 

verse 1 
C 
I am closer to believing, Than I ever was before 
             Bb                      Gm 
On the crest of this elation, Must I crash upon the shore 
C 
And with the driftwood of acquaintance 
C 
Light the fire to love once more 
     Gm                C 
I am wind blown...I am times 
C 
To be closer to believing,  To be just a breath away 
             Bb 
On the death of inspiration, I would buy back yesterday 
               C 
But there's no crueler illusion 
C 
There's no sharper coin to pay 
      Gm                   C 
As I reach out... It slips away

From the opium of custom, To the ledges of extremes

Don't believe it till you've held it, Life is seldom what it seems 
             C 
But lay your heart upon the table 
C 
And in the shuffling of dreams 
     Bb                   C 
Remember who on earth you are 
  Bb       C   Dm                C 
I need me, You need you, We want us 

verse 3 
C 
But of course you know I love you, Or what else am I here for 
     Bb                                 
Only you not face to face, But side by side for evermore 
C 
And I need to be here with you, For without you what am I 
             Bb                           Gm 
Just another fool out searching, For some heaven in the sky 
        C               G 
Take me closer to believing, Take me forward lead me on 
        C 
Through collision and confusion 
               F               C 
While there's life beneath the sun 
C 
You are the reason I continue, So near for so long 
      Bb             C 
So close yet so far away

So don't let the curtain fall 
        C                 F              Fm 
Measure after measure, Of writing on the wall 
                                     C 
That burns so brightly, It blinds us all 

Chorus 2

I need me, You need you, We want us to be together

On Sundays in the rain 
C                    F                    Fm 
Closer than forever, Against or with the grain 
                           C 
To ride the storms of love again 

verse 4 

C 
So be closer to believing, Though your world is torn apart 
      Bb 
For a moment changes all things, And to end is but to start 
               C 
And if your journey's unrewarded 
C 
May your God lift up your heart 
          Gm 
You are windblown 
            C 
But you are mine
