The Closer I Get To You Chords by Luther Vandross

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
[Gm] _ The closer I get [Eb] to you, _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _
[Bb] _ the more you make me see.
[Ab] By [Bb] _ giving me all [Eb] you've [Cm] got, [Bb] _ [Eb]
[Gm] your _ [Eb] love has captured [Bb] me.
[Eb] _
[Cm] _ Over and over [Bb] again, I [Db] try to tell myself [Cm] that we could never be more [Bb] than friends.
But [Ab] all the while inside, [Eb] I know [Bb] it wasn't real, _ [G] [Ab] the way you make me _ _ [Gm] feel.
_ _ [Eb] Hey, [Bb] _ [Eb] _ [Bb] hey.
_ _ [Ab] _ [Bb]
Oh, [Eb] _ [Gm] I'm lying here next [Eb] to you.
[Bb] _ [Eb] _ [Gm] Time [Eb] _ just seems [Cm] to [Bb] [Ab] fly.
[Bb] _ _ [Gm] Leaving [Eb] you more and more.
[Bb] More [Eb] and [Bb] more
_ [Eb] Let's give love a try
[Bb] Let's give [Cm] love a try
I want what my love wants
Sweeter and sweeter [Bb] love grows
[Db] And heaven's there [Eb] for [Cm] those
Who pull the tricks [Bb] of time
[Db] With [Ab] hearts of love we'll [Bb] find
_ [Ab] True love
In a [Bb] special [F] way
_ [Eb] _ _
[Bb] The [Eb] closer [Bb] I [Cm] get
To [Gm] _
you, [Eb] baby
The more you [Bb] make [Ab] [Gm] me sing
By giving me what [Eb] you've got
[Bb] Oh, [Eb] oh, oh
[Gm]
Your [Ab] love [Eb] [Bb] captured [Cm] me
Over and [Bb] over again
[Db] I try to tell myself [Cm] that we
Could never be more [Gm] than friends
[Ab] We know that once [Eb] I [Gm] knew this was real
[Eb] Got to be real
[Fm] The way you make [Bb] me [B] feel
You know, you know, you [Ab] know
My baby, my [Cm] baby, [Abm] my baby
My love, my love, [Cm] my love, my [Bb] love
_ _ [Gm] _
[Cm] _ [Bb] Yeah, yeah
[Ab] [F] Come _ [Cm] closer, love
Come a little [Bb] closer
So that [Gm] we can see
Into [Cm] the eyes of love
I want [Bb] to see
Into [Ab] those eyes of love
[F] Come [Cm] closer, love
Just a little [Gm] closer
Let me speak to you
I want to [Cm] softly tell you something
Here I am _
