Dm     C      A#
Close to my skin
            Dm
I'm falling in
    C         A#
Someone who's been
Dm       C      A#
Sitting by the phone
           Dm
I'm left alone
     C      A#
In another zone

John says to live
Above hell
My will is well
No one is waiting
For me to fail
My will could sail, yeah

Dm           C           A#
It's such a waste to be wasted
in the first place
   Dm                C              A#
I want to taste the taste of being face
to face with common grace
Dm      C           A#
To meditate on the warmest dream
Dm          C            A#
And when I walk alone I listen
to our secret theme

Chorus:
Dm
You solar eyes are like
Am
Nothing I have ever seen
Dm
Somebody close
Am
That can see right through
Dm
I'd take a fall and you know
Am
That I'd do anything
C           Am
I will for you.

Sailing for the sun
'Cause there is one
Knows where I'm from
I care for you
I really do
I really do
Come closer now
So you can lie
Right by my side
Sit alone in the sun
I wrote a letter to you
Getting over my self, yeah

Chorus - x2

Chorus:
Close to my skin
Someone who's been
I'm falling in
Disasters are
Just another star
Falling in my yard
John says to live above hell
My will is well
Long to be with
Someone to tell
I love your smell
