Closest I Ever Came Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Once I held a real -life angel,
[G]gentle in my [Gm]arms
[D]And for once I knew the sweetness
[G]of something real an[D]d warm
[Gm]And as I h[D]eld her, I just [F#]slept
I [G]didn't mean to, but I [Gm]will
Cause that's [D]the closest I ever
[Asus4]came to being in l[D]ove[G][Em]
The [D]closest I ever [Em]came [G]to bein'
[D]in [G]love[Em][D][Dsus4]
[D]Lookin' [G]back, I can't help [F#m]wonderin'
How a [Em]man [Asus4]so all alone[D]
[G]Return his back on [D]kindness
To chase [C]a sunset and [Asus4]a sound[A]
[Asus4]When I left[D] her, she was dreaming
[G]The [Em]dew was on t[D]he l[Gm]awn,
[Asus4]touched her f[D]ace with trembling fingers
[G]an [Em]d ran into the da[D]wn.
[Gm]And each time [D]I touch a flow[F#]er
I re[G]member that happy [Gm]hour
Cause that's [D]the closest I ever
[G]came [Em]to be[Asus4] in love[D][Em]
Oh, [D]the closest I ever [Em]came to
being [D]in love
