Closer Than We Think by The Classic Crime

VERSE 1 

C                          Em
What's it gonna take for me?
                      G
I'm on my hands and knees,

while all the poets fill the pages of loose leaf
C        Em             G     D
I feel cheap, and I feel empty
C                     Em             G
We will bathe in the sea of disbelief, but we will not go quickly.
        C               Em         G        D
No we will not die so easily
   

BRIDGE 
 C  Em G  D                      C   Em           G     D
And I     knew that this would happen, it always does  Hmmm
    C  Em G  D                    C    Em          G     D
And I        couldn't stop my reaction, so I let it come

D     D    D 
I let it come!


CHORUS 
C                      G                 D
I still hold the belief that we are free,
                 Em 
that we don't need the rules to see
C                            G               D
that despite what we've done, we're not alone 
                      D    G  C 
We're closer than we think to home



VERSE 2 
C                                Em                       G
It didn't take me long to believe that I could do anything,
G                     D                 C
we turn the songs up loud so we can sing
C     Em            G      D
I am true and I am living
C                        Em                            G                   D  
We will walk through the valley of the shadow of the boring and burn it all
C                     Em   G  D 
No we will not go quietly


BRIDGE 
 C  Em G  D                      C   Em           G     D
And I     knew that this would happen, it always does  Hmmm
    C  Em G  D                    C    Em          G     D
And I        couldn't stop my reaction, so I let it come

D     D    D 
I let it come!


CHORUS 
C                      G                 D

                      D        Em
We're closer than we think to home
      B       C         D    B
To home, to home,  To home

C           Em         G           D               C   Em      G     D
Across the water you call me, but I'm not listening as I sink down
C Em G    G              C Em          G    
Water    fills my lungs as I begin to drown
   D      
I knew that this would [happen]
