(Capo on 4)

(Intro.)
|(G) / (Em) / |(C) / / / | x 2

(Verse)
(G) When a few drinks turn into (Em)midnight dancing
(C) And the pillow talk turns into weekend plans and
(G) That early morning ends with, "I'll (Em)call you again" but
(C) One of us is lying, one of us is trying 
(G) There's a reason why the (Em)heart has a ribcage
(C) There's a reason why a car has a handbrake
(G) I'm a hopeless romantic (Em)from the first second on the first (C) date 
 
(Chorus)
I guess we were just as (G)close as a first kiss
(Em)Closer to God when you're (C)down on your knees and praying
Yeah, (G)close like a secret, you (Em)swore you would keep
But some-(C)how you let it slip away 
So (G)close you can feel, it (Em)hurts when it's rеal
'Cause the (C)other don't feel thе same 
Guess (G)close only counts in (Em)horseshoes and hand gre-(C)nades
Horseshoes and hand gre-(G)nades (Em)  / |(C) / / / |
 (Close but no cigar, close but no cigar, close but no cigar) 
 
(Verse)
(G) It's my fault for thinking (Em)too far in the future
(C) It's your fault for going too far, it confused me
(Em) But when you're wrapped in the (Em)moment
You don't know it till the (C)sunlight shows it 
 
(Chorus)
I guess we were just as (G)close as a first kiss
(Em)Closer to God when you're (C)down on your knees and praying
Yeah, (G)close like a secret, you (Em)swore you would keep
But some-(C)how you let it slip away 
So (G)close you can feel, it (Em)hurts when it's rеal
'Cause the (C)other don't feel thе same 
Guess (G)close only counts in (Em)horseshoes and hand gre-(C)nades
