G G/B C G/B Em
The closer I get to you

Over and over again

Am G
And all the while inside

I knew it was real
Am D
The way you make me feel


Female Solo 2:

G G/B C G/B Em
Lying here next to you

Needing you more and more
G G/B C G/B Em
Let's give love a try


Male Solo 2:

C G/B
Sweeter and sweeter love grows
Am G C
And Heaven's there for those

Who fooled the tricks of time
Am G C
With the hearts of love they find
G/B Am D
True love in a special way
