D
Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn
    F#m
I'm so perplexed
      A                    D       F#m A
With just one breath, I'm locked in
D
Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn
    F#m
I'm so perplexed
    A                 Bm     F#m A
On that, it's almost shocking

D                               F#m
I know, I know you know you're scared
                  A                     D   F#m A
Your heart, your mind, your soul, your body
D                                      F#m
They won't, they won't, they won't be careful
       A                    Bm    F#m A
But I guess that you don't know me


           D               F#m
Cause if I want you, and I want you, babe
             D                       F#m
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
       Bm
Cause space is just a word made up
    F#m                         A
by someone who's afraid to get too...

Chorus:
Bm      F#m A
Close, ooh-ooh
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh
Want you close, ooh-ooh
'Cause "space" was just a word made up by someone
Who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh
Want you close, ooh-ooh
Oh, I want you close and close, ain't close enough, no

Oh, man, oh, man, I am not really known
For ever being speechless (Yeah, yeah, ah)
But now, but now somehow my words roll off my tongue
Right onto your lips, ah (Ah, ah, babe)
I'm keepin' cool while you keep smilin'
Sayin' all the things I'm thinking (I'll say, babe, yeah)
Oh, man, oh, man, I am like you
So I want proof of what you're feeling (Oh-ooh)

'Cause if I want you, then I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space (Going backwards)
'Cause "space" is just a word made up by someone
Who's afraid to get too—

Chorus:
Close, ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh
Want you close, ooh-ooh (Yeah, baby)
'Cause "space" was just a word made up by someone
Who's afraid to get close, ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh
Want you close, ooh-ooh (I want you)
Oh, I want you close and close, ain't close enough, no

'Cause if I want you, then I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
'Cause "space" was just a word made up by someone
Who's afraid to get too
Close

Chorus:
Close, ooh-ooh (Close, babe)
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh (Oh, baby)
Want you close, ooh-ooh (Yeah; Baby, yeah)
'Cause "space" was just a word made up by someone
Who's afraid to get close, ooh-ooh (So get close, baby)
Oh, so close, ooh-ooh (Oh, baby; Oh)
Want you close, ooh-ooh (Can you tell me?)
Oh, I want you close and close, ain't close enough, no (No)

Close, ooh-ooh (Yeah, baby)
Close, ooh-ooh (Oh, tell me, baby, what you want)
Close, ooh-ooh (Ooh-ooh)
Oh, I want you close and close, ain't close enough, no
