And the morning light was breaking, [A]
slowly moving across the [E] bed
[A]
He gets up without her [E] waking, [A]
to the voices in [E] his head
[E] [A]
Through the shadows in [E] the hallway, [A]
[E] to the room they painted blue
[A]
And on the [E] inside he is frightened, [A]
[E] shed a loss for what to do
Until [A]
he opens up his eyes
[E] [A]
And the angels all look [F#] [E]
even closer than this light
Closer than [A] your faith, closer than [C#m] the things that you [B] hold dearly [A] in vain
Closer than [E] this life, falling through [A]
again
Giving more [C#m] than anything that you could hope [A] to win
[E]
[A] And he knows his life [E] is changing, [A] there's never reason letting [E]
go
[A] For the first time you are more, [F#] as the child before [E] you grows
[A] And he wonders at [E] the size [A] of your joy
And [E]
[A] [E] even closer than this life, closer than your faith
Closer than [C#m] the things that you [B] hold dearly [A] in vain
Closer than [E] this life, falling through [F#] again
Giving more [C#m] than anything [B] that you could hope [A] to win
[F#m] And [A]
[B] [A]
[B] whatever you intend to [A] find, it's not up to your peace of [B] mind
Holding [E] on for something [A] less, and touching the hand [E] of God
[A]
[E] Closer than [A]
[E] this life, closer than [F#] this faith
Closer than [C#m] the things that you [B] hold dearly [A] in vain
Closer [E] than this life, falling through again
Giving [C#m] more than anything that you could [A] hope to win
Closer [E] than this life, closer [A] than your [E] faith
Living for the only thing you ever [A] may complete
Oh, [C#m] the one thing that your world still [A] perfectly needs
[F#m] [A] [F#m] [A]
