[Verse 1]
E C#m G#m B
Perfect, I'll be the one that you've been searching for
E C#m G#m B
I'll ditch the car and get you at the door
E C#m G#m B
Ensure my words have not been said before
E C#m G#m B
And I'll give you everything but only show one side
E C#m G#m B
Ever adventuring, a shining light
E C#m G#m B
The positivity that's in your life
[chorus]
F#m C#m
But I can't keep pretending I'm somebody
F#m B
When I can get knocked down by everyone
A
And you'll forget it when you're closer
B
When we get closer
E C#m
You'll slowly get over me
Am E C#m G#m B
So don't get closer
[Verse 2]
E C#m G#m B
Maybe I'll still be the Romeo that puts love first
E C#m G#m B
But words become cliched and sound rehearsed
E C#m G#m B
I'll be a million miles away
[chorus]
F#m C#m
But I can't keep pretending I'm somebody
F#m B
When I can get knocked down by everyone
A
And you'll forget it when you're closer
B
When we get closer
E C#m
You'll slowly get over me
A
And as we get older
B
As we grow older
E C#m
You'll know that from afar is the best way to be with me
Am E
So don't get closer
[bridge]
C#m B E A
Oh darling don't don't hold my hand so close
C#m B E A
Oh darling don't don't hold my hand so close
[chorus]
F#m
But I can't keep pretending
F#m
No I can't keep pretending
F#m B
But I can't keep pretending I'm someone
A
And you'll forget it when you're closer
B
When we get closer
E C#m
You'll slowly get over me
A
And as we get older
B
As we grow older
E C#m
You'll know that from afar is the best way to be with me
Am E
So don't get closer
