Am7
In the morning when I wake
C G
And the sun is coming through,
Am7
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
C G
And you fill my head with you.
Am7
Shall I write it in a letter?
C G
Shall I try to get it down?
Am7
Oh, you fill my head with pieces
C G
Of a song I can't get out.
[Chorus]
N.C. Am7
Can I be close to you?
C G
Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh-oo-oo-ooh.
Am7
Can I be close to you?
C G
Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh-oo-oo-ooh.
[Verse 2]
Am7
Can I take it to a morning
C G
Where the fields are painted gold
Am7
And the trees are filled with memories
C G
Of the feelings never told?
Am7
When the evening pulls the sun down,
C G
And the day is almost through,
Am7
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,
C G
But my world is you.
[Chorus]
N.C. Am7
Can I be close to you?
C G
Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh-oo-oo-ooh.
Am7
Can I be close to you?
C G
Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh-oo-oo-ooh.
[Interlude] (whistling melody over verse chords)
Am7 C G x4
[Chorus]
N.C. Am7
Can I be close to you?
C G
Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh-oo-oo-ooh.
Am7
Can I be close to you?
C G
Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh-oo-oo-ooh.
Am7
Can I be close to you?
C G
Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh-oo-oo-ooh.
