(I said)
Bm
Down at the street around half past nine
I heard someone scream
I found someone dying
Em
His throat was slit from ear to ear
Bm
He mumbled so low I could hardly hear
D Em
I bent down low so I could hear what he said
D Em
He said tell me the truth am I nearly that dead
D A Bm
I said you're close as you'll ever be
Oh yea you're as close as you'll ever be
Bm
Down on the beach around half past five
I saw a pretty girl on a deckchair reclining
Em
A grin split her face from ear to ear
Bm
I went up close I must have got too near
D Em
Cos I never saw the guy on the sea-front cafe
Leaving his seat come and running my way
D A Bm
Saying you're close as you'll ever be
Oh yea you're close as you'll ever be
Bm Bm Am x8
Get up close to me honey
Em x8

Close as you'll ever be

D A Bm
C'mon you're close as you'll ever be
Oh yea you're close as you'll ever be
I said you're close as you'll ever be
Gimme as close as you'll ever be
