F   Am G
Today
               F Am G
You were far away
    F Am G
And I

Didn't ask you "Why?"
              F G
What could I say?
            F Am G
I was far away
                  F Am
You just walked away
    G               F Am G
And I just watched you
              C Em
What could I say?

Chorus:
             F
How close am I
G             F Am G
To losing you?

Tonight
You just close your eyes
And I just watch you
Slip away

Chorus

Hey
Are you awake?
Yeah, I'm right here
Well, can I ask you
About today?

How close am I
To losing you?
How close am I
