Em Bm G Em D B (= Verse & Chorus)
Verse 1:
Em
You were young, you had time on your hands
Bm
And I, was a rollercoaster of the kind
G
that needs to ride so high
Em
To dive so low
D B
All the time I had to keep you close
Em
Now I finally know how it must of hurt
Bm
To see all of the love and care only work
G Em
F# little while and then I'd go
D B
All the time I had to keep you close
Chorus:
Em
What you feel is what you get
Bm
You know there is no answer fit
G Em
We broke the code so long ago
D B
I'm going to keep you ever close
Em
Just like on the day we met
Bm
You pulling on me like a cigarette
G Em
So like the sea holds to the shore
D B
I'm going to keep you ever close
Bridge: Am B
Verse 2:
Now the years have a way to make you forget
That we're still in the same place
No hurry yet
The path we're on is the path we chose
I'll still remember how to keep you close
Linger on, linger on in the scheme of things
We are only inhabiting our own dreams
They don't come true, it's the way it goes
And in the meantime I will hold you close
Chorus:
And in my heart and in my head
You are the only dream I dreamed
The fear will keep me on my toes
I`m going to keep you ever close
Just like on the day we met
You pulling on me like a cigarette
So like the seaholes to the shore
I`m going to keep you ever close
Bridge: Am B
Verse 3:
So is this what they mean about moving on
Is this really the end you won't stick around
The one that stays, you're the one that throws
Out the one that has kept you close
And is this definition of constant change
F# transformission of what we hope stays the same
Cold's the breeze that forever blows
Warm are the hands that have kept you close
Chorus:
Coldness is what lays ahead
So when I see you should I just pretend
The flower's cut but it still grows
I'm going to keep you ever close
Just like on the day we met
I'm pulling on you like a cigarette
So like the sea holds to the shore
I'm going to keep you ever close
