E
You've applied the pressure
            Bm       A
To have me crystalised
E
And you've got the faith
                   Bm      A
That I could bring paradise

I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralysed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied?

Chorus:
E
Things have gotten closer to the sun
          Bm                   A
And I've done things in small doses
E
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
                Bm                   A
When you're the one that I've kept closest

          E
Haii ayy ayy
     Bm   A
Haii ayy ayy
          E
Haii ayy ayy
     Bm   A
Haii ayy ayy

You don't move slow
Taking steps in my direction
The sound resounds, echo
Does it lessen your affection? No

   E
Noooo

You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
But burn down our home
I won't leave alive

          E
Haii ayy ayy

Chorus:
Glaciers have melted to the sea
I wish the tide would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer

          E
Haii ayy ayy
     Bm   A
Haii ayy ayy
         E
Haii ayy ayy
     Bm   A
Haii ayy ayy

Chorus:
Glaciers have melted to the sea
(Things have gotten closer to the sun)
I wish the tide would take me over
(And I've done things in small doses)
I've been down onto my knees
(So don't think that I'm pushing you away)
And you just keep on getting closer
(When you're the one that I've kept closest)

Go slow
Go slow
Go slow
Go slow
Go slow
