A
Across the miles
      E
it's funny to me
F#m          E
How far you are
         D
and how near
you seem to be
A

night just to
 E         C# 
hear you breathe
F#m
I could spend my
 E         D
life just living
           A   Bm
this dream
You're all I'll
       E
ever need

Chorus:
A              E  
You give me strength
            F#m
You give me hope
             D
You give me someone
         E
to love someone to hold
A                 E  
When I'm in your arms
        G      Bm
I need you to know
I've never been
 A     D     E    A  D E
never been this close

With all the loves I used to know
I kept my distance, I never let go
But in your arms I know I'm safe
Cause I've never been held
And I've never been kissed in this way, oh
You're all I'll ever need
You're all I'll ever need

Chorus

G
Close enough to see it's true
A
Close enough to trust in you
D
Close enough that many
       E
words can't say yeah

     B
And well When I'm in your
 F#          A      C#m
