Verse: 
G           C   Em              D 
Cars they pass us, the traffic stops 
G            C    Em                    D   
The street that divides us, I want to cross 
C            Em                     D7 
So how do I say, In the most simple way, how I feel tonight 

G                      C   Em 
I should hold you closer,    
                            D 
'Cause you feel so far from me 
G                        C  Em                  D 
With your heart is where I need to be, where I need to be 
G            C  Em 
Hold you closer 
                      D   
And say all that you need to know 
        G      C Em  
Is that I am never letting go 
      D 
And whisper you're beautiful 
G C D Em 
mmm 

Verse: 
G       C Em             D 
Time can heal or tear apart 
G        C Em           D 
So we find what reminds us 
G        C Em        D 
Of the very first spark 
C        Em                    D7 
If you slip away what could I say, to bring you home tonight 


G                      C   Em 
I should hold you closer,    
                            D 
'Cause you feel so far from me 
G                        C  Em                  D 
With your heart is where I need to be, where I need to be 
G            C  Em 
Hold you closer 
                      D   
And say all that you need to know 
        G      C Em  
Is that I am never letting go 
      D                    Am7  C 
And whisper you're beautiful 

Bridge: 
Am7             C                         Am7 
A thousand poems, with words to build you up 
                         C 
And I hope that what I say 
                     G   
What I say can be enough 
               C    Em 
What I say can be enough 
                D 
What I can say be enough 
G           C   Em        D 
What I say can be enough
