Never Be Too Near (Dargan)

Am Em G D
I’m having a hard time with this whole thing, though I cannot tell you why
Am Em G D
I would like to tell myself, but for the most part, it’s a lie
Am Em G D
My clouds keep rolling in, and I can’t make myself cry
C D
Any more...

When I walk to your apartment -- I am six flights off the ground
When I sleep upon your balcony, I dream of falling down
When the morning air is clear but my body twists around
to grab your floor...
C
I can’t speak
G D C
I stammer till my lips grow weak
G D
Bruised and broken on the ground
Am
Will you take me by the hand?
Em
Are you close enough to hear?
C D G D Am C D
...from where I stand, you could never be too near

I suppose ten more days might give breadth to my small mind
Though another weak escape attempt has failed to help me find
Any answer to this problem -- I might just as well be blind
And furthermore...

I could sit here on your chair to nurse my stupid, silent rage
Until my feelings for you die, like a beast inside the cage
Cover up my childish heart and finally act my age
Evermore…

I can’t speak
I stammer till my lips grow weak
Bruised and broken on the ground
Will you take me by the hand?
Are you close enough to hear?
...from where I stand, you could never be too near
