The Classic Crime

Closer Than We Think Ukulele Chords

VERSE 1 

F                          Am
What's it gonna take for me?
                      C
I'm on my hands and knees,

while all the poets fill the pages of loose leaf
F        Am             C     G
I feel cheap, and I feel empty
F                     Am             C
We will bathe in the sea of disbelief, but we will not go quickly.
        F               Am         C        G
No we will not die so easily
   

BRIDGE 
 F  Am C  G                      F   Am           C     G
And I     knew that this would happen, it always does  Hmmm
    F  Am C  G                    F    Am          C     G
And I        couldn't stop my reaction, so I let it come

G     G    G 
I let it come!


CHORUS 
F                      C                 G
I still hold the belief that we are free,
                 Am 
that we don't need the rules to see
F                            C               G
that despite what we've done, we're not alone 
                      G    C  F 
We're closer than we think to home

It didn't take me long to believe that I could do anything,
C                     G                 F
we turn the songs up loud so we can sing
F     Am            C      G
I am true and I am living
F                        Am                            C                   G  
We will walk through the valley of the shadow of the boring and burn it all

No we will not go quietly

And I        couldn't stop my reaction, so I let it come

F           Am         C           G               F   Am      C     G
Across the water you call me, but I'm not listening as I sink down
F Am C    C              F Am          C
