Close Up

Cmaj7 E Am A#dim7
Dm Dmmaj7 Dm7 G C

[Verse]
C
Don't touch my vein with your new needle
E7
Don't be afraid of the pine beetle
Am                                   A#dim7
Just rest assured that there will be a - nother day too

Dm
And maybe here and maybe not
Dmmaj7
And I'm not sure of all we've got
  Dm7                          G7              C
A season ticket to the war for the human heart


[Verse]
C
So let us gather by the light
E7
Some people have, some people might
Am                            A#dim7
I hold you in my mind tonight to great distraction

Dm
And tender is my sleepy bed
Dmmaj7
Night club me in my sleepy head
Dm7
And eating dinner with your friends
   G7                      C
By their cabin on the lake


[Chorus]
A#dim7
And has it really been this long since we were free
Dm                         Dmmaj7
I will now hold my head up high
    Dm7
And I will walk into the light
G7                              C
Erasing every trace in sight of every memory


[Verse]
C
So what's your problem, what's your beef?
E7
I've got this gap between my teeth
Am                                   A#dim7
And but for this I might have been a different man

Dm
And by your watch some time will pass
Dmmaj7
And buy your wine from glass to glass
Dm7                           G7                C
And I have seen the coming of our precious Lord


[Chorus]
A#dim7
We all unfold our pages from right to left
Dm                          Dmmaj7
Some day I'll get a used guitar
Dm7
And on its strings I'll try to play
G7                    C
This lonesome tune to you


[Verse]
C
We all have sinned, we all have saved
E7
And much of this our true heart gave
Am                             A#dim7
We all have given to our grave our own excesses

Dm
So watch me blow in two somehow
Dmmaj7
Part Clair de Lune, part sacred cow
Dm7                        G7            C
I am ready for my close up with the Lord
