I want to be your lover, but your friend is all [E] I stay.
You leave [A] me half open [D] to paradise, so [A] near [E] yet so [A] far away.
I long for your lips to kiss my lips, and just when I think [E] they may.
You [A] leave me half [D] to paradise, [A] so near [E] yet so [A] far away.
[E] Being close to you is [A] almost heaven, [E] but seeing you can do [A] just so much.
[E] It hurts me so to know your [A] heart's a treasure, [B] and I know my heart is [E] forbidden to touch.
So put [A] your sweet lips close to my lips, and tell me that's where they're [E] gonna stay.
Don't [A] leave me half [D] to paradise, [A] so near [E] yet so [A] far away.
Oh, so near [E] yet so [A] far away.
So near [E] yet so [A] far away.
