D                D            G                G
So leave your taxi waiting  and turn and close my door 
    D                   D                          G               G     
And sit back down where you were sitting  a little closer than before 
     D               D             G                 Em
When you look that serious it just makes me want you more 
    Bm            A          Em         Em
And I've     been meaning to tell you 

[Chorus]
               D                  A
The closer you get, the better I feel 
               F#m             G
The closer you are, the more I see 
             D                A
Why everyone says that I look happier 
             F#m
When you're around
               G                 D       D
The closer you get, the better I feel 

[Verse 2]
    D                 D              G             G 
And yes I know you're nervous, never seen you so unsure 
D                          D                       G                 G                                  
  You haven't touched your food tonight and you're drinking more and more 
     D                 D                G                   Em
And there's no need to hurry, take your time, I'll still be here 
    Bm            A          Em        Em
And I've     been meaning to tell you 

[Chorus]
               D                  A
The closer you get, the better I feel 
               F#m             G
The closer you are, the more I see 
             D                A
Why everyone says that I look happier 
             F#m                G
When you're around the better I feel
               D                   A
The closer you get, the better you see 
               F#m             G
The closer you are, the more I see 
             D                A
Why everyone says that I look happier 
              F#m
when you are around
               G                 D      A 
The closer you get, the better I feel
             F#m       G
the better I feel

[Bridge]
           D            A
We've been circling for time baby 
      F#m            G
We're coming down to land tonight 
    D                 A
The wait is over and now it's easy 
F#m            G    G
Everything is fine 

[Chorus]
               D                  A
The closer you get, the better I feel 
               F#m             G
The closer you are, the more I see 
             D                A
Why everyone says that I look happier 
             F#m                G
When you're around the better I feel
               D                   A 
The closer you get, the better you see 
               F#m              G
The closer you are, the more I see, 
             D                 A
Why everyone says that I look happier
           F#m
When your around
               G                 D
The closer you get, the better I feel
