Standard (EADGBE)

So leave your taxi waiting And turn and close my door

And sit back down where you were sitting A little closer then before

When you look that serious It just makes me want you more

And I've been meaning to tell you

Chorus

 The closer you get, the better I feel

 The closer you are, the more I see

 Why everyone says I look happier

 When you're around

 The closer you get, the better I feel

 2nd VERSE: ( ) x 3

And yes I know you're nervous

Never seen you so unsure

You haven't touched your food tonight

And you're drinking more and more

And there's no need to hurry

Take you're time I'll still be here

And I've been meaning to tell you

Chorus

Bridge

 We've been circling for time baby

 We're coming down to land tonight

 The wait is over and now it's easy

Everything is fine

Chorus

2nd CHORUS:

The closer you get, the better you see

The closer you are, the more I see,

Why everyone says that I look happier

When your around

The closer you get, the better I feel
