F                    Am
I've had enough, of this parade.
     Dm               A#
I'm thinking of, the words to say.
   F           Am
We open up, unfinished parts,
Dm             A#
Broken up, its so mellow.

C                          Dm
And when I see you then I know it
will be next to me
C                           Dm
And when I need you then I know
you will be there with me
C
Ill never leave you...

Chorus:
                   F       Am7
Just need to get closer, closer,
Dm
Lean on me now,
A#          C
Lean on me now,
F         Am
closer, closer,
Dm
Lean on me now,
A#          C
Lean on me now.

Keep waking up (Waking up),
without you here (Without you here)
Another day (Another day),
another year (Another year)
I seek the truth (Seek the truth),
we set apart (We set apart)
Second dance, second chance (Second chance)

And when I see you then
I know it will be next to me
And when I need you then
I know you will be there with me
I'll never leave you

Chorus

lean on me now

And when I see you then
I know it will be next to me
And when I need you then
I know you will be there with me
I'll never leave you

Chorus

lean on me now

Closer, closer
Closer, closer
