1.	Closer to Him 03:26	lyrics	buy track
I’ll love you girl ‘Till the old end of time And after I cross that line Look for me for a year Through seance or through tears And I will do my best Without word or this armored mess To touch your heart so blessed. Chorus: I know you’re not God babe I know you’re not God babe I know you’re not God babe But I think you might be closer to him And after you fall Where do you go from there? Get up off your knees and share And you don’t have to pray If everything’s ok And if you’re wounds are dear Then I’ll wake up with your tears Let them fill up every year Chorus Where is my heart of steel? What have you done to it? You’re powers are not yours to give But they light this room somehow And this old world of mine Little Gods and little time And I always call you mine Chorus Chords:vSecond fret Verse: Bm Bm/A Bm/G Bm/E A G D G Em A D G Chorus: Em A D G x2 d Bridge: D A G Em

I see you in the darkness I'm wrapped around your body waiting for the old dread to come and take me over I know you'de like to see me You know that I've been dreaming he sings into a microphone I used to love her body now every child that wasn't born is wondering what they could be And everything is dreaming And everyone has lost s friend Somewhere in that darkness It's coming for me once again what is that you call it? got everything you wanted what will all these dreams do when none of them are huanted holy ghosts want to be wanted I see you in the darkness I'm wrapped around your body waiting for the old dread to come and take me over that heart that broke again COME AND TAKE ME OVER the love that never ends COME AND TAKE ME OVER that wonderful live you’ve lead COME AND TAKE ME OVER that end that end that end THAT END THAT END THAT END
