            B  F#                     G#m
Sorry it's late, I know I missed your call again
            B    F#                G#m      F#
I'm tryna change, got stuck in my ways again
B                      F#
I been feeling faded, disconnected lately
D#m
Missin' what money can't buy
G#m                        C#
All I wanna do is be brand new
         F#                         D#m
I swear I'd give it all up just for you

Chorus:
B                    F#             G#m
And I would sink my house down underwater, ooh-ooh
B             F#               G#m F#
I would trade all my gold for dirt
                       B
Let me tell you right now
                      F#           G#m
I would walk through fire just to hold ya
    B              F#       G#m
Whatever gets me closer to you
    B              F#       G#m
Whatever gets me closer to you

Sick of the game
Never holdin' on to what I start
Hell of a shame
I almost got the life I want
Got no one to take to Paris, France
To understand the man I am
I feel like I'm runnin' out of time
Well, tell me why our stars just don't align

Chorus:
I would sink my house down underwater, ooh-ooh
I would trade all my gold for dirt
Let me tell you right now
I would walk through fire just to hold ya
Whatever gets me closer to you

Whatever gets me closer to your touch, your love
I want it all too much, I'm cryin'
I'd give my shirt off my back just to get you back
Baby, baby, now I'd lie in the eye of
a hurricane just to have you comin' back
To when you still believed in me
Will you believe me?

Chorus:
I would sink my house down underwater
And I would trade all my gold for dirt
Let me tell you right now
I would walk through fire just to hold ya
Whatever gets me closer to you
Whatever gets me closer to you

Closer to you
Oh, a little closer to you
Closer to you
