Gordon Lightfoot - Never Too Close
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[INTRO:] G C G Em D G
[VERSE 1:]
C G
I remember when best friends were jealous lovers
C D G
Lying warm asleep beneath the covers
C G
Dreaming of belonging to each other
[CHORUS:]
C G
And so we tried, never too close
D G
Never too near, dying in time
C G
And so we cried, but that is alright
D
We meant no one no harm
[VERSE 2:]
G C G
I remember when best friends were not mistaken
C D G
Long before that freedom was forsaken
C G
Learning about all the good things in the world worth believing
[CHORUS:]
C G
And so we tried, never too close
D G
Never too near, dying in time
C G
And so we cried, but that is alright
D
We meant no one no harm
[INSTRUMENTAL:] G C G Em D G
[VERSE 3:]
C G
I remember when jealous lovers would stick together
C D G
When the days were warm and the nights more tender
C G
When the bonds of truth were not made to measure
[CHORUS:]
C G
And so we tried, never too close
D G
Never too near, dying in time
C G
And so we cried, but that is alright
D
We meant no one no harm
[CHORUS:]
C G
Try, try as you will
D G
Following dreams never fulfilled
C G
And so we cried, but that is alright
D
We meant no one no harm
[OUTRO:] G C G Em D G
