[Ebm] [F]
[C] [G]
[C] The man on the dance floor
In the [G] old high school gym
[Bb] It felt like a rock
[C] [F] She kinda liked him
[Dm] And his heart beat like thunder
[G] As she moved [Am] across the floor
[F] When the [G] music was over
[C] She slipped out [F] the door
Mmm-hmm-hmm
[C] Yeah, a man loves a woman
But [G] he can't understand
Why [Gm] she's sad when she slips
[Dm] At the ring [F] on her hand
Oh, [Dm] she sits in some club
[G] Where the night [Am] shadows fall
[F] Drop a [G] coin in the jukebox
[C] Not the phone on [F] the wall
[G]
So [Am] close
[D] Yet so [G] far away
So [Am] close
[Dm] Yet so [G] far away
We [Dm] believe in tomorrow
[G] And a [C] better day
[F] Than we lie down to sleep So [G] close
Yet [Ebm] so [C] far away
There's [F] a restless look in your eye tonight
There's [C] a secret hurt in my heart
[F] And the dream that pulls us together, girl
Is [G] a dream
Is a dream
That keeps us [Am] so close
[Dm] Yet so [G] far away
Some
[C] people think
[G] If you really believe
[Bb] That's all you need
[C] [A] To [F]
solve all the mysteries
[Dm] Well, I know someone
Who just [G] heads [Am] for the sun
Cause she [F] says, I [Bm] don't wanna be wise
[C] I just wanna [F] stay young
[Bb] [F]
[G] So [Am] close
[Dm] Yet so far [G] away
So [Am] close
Yet so [G] far [Dm] away
We believe in tomorrow
[G] Maybe more [C] than today
Than [F] we lie down to sleep [G] So close
Yet [Ebm] so [G] far [C] away
Oh, [F] there's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's [C] a secret hurt in my heart
[F] And the dream that pulls us together, girl
Is [Gm] a dream
[Am] That's gonna tear us, [D] tear us apart
There's a restless look in your [G] eye tonight
Oh, [D] there's a secret hurt in my heart
[A] Oh, so [D] [G] close
And a dream that pulls us together, girl
There's a dream
[D] It's a dream
That [A] keeps us so [B] close
[G] There's a restless look in your eye tonight
Oh, I say it now
[D] There's a secret hurt in my heart
Oh, [Em] so [D] close
[G] And a dream that pulls us together, girl
It's [D] a dream
That [A] keeps us [Bm] so close
Oh, [G] there's a restless look in your eye tonight
I say it, baby
[D] There's a secret hurt in my heart
Oh, so close
And [G] a dream that pulls us together, girl
It's a dream
[D] It's a dream
That keeps [A] us [Bm] so close
[Em] Yet so far [A] away
