So Close

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So Close - Daryl Hall & John Oates

from the album "Change of Season"(1990)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Ryan "Sambo" Mascarenhas

Tuning: Standard

This a wonderful Hall & Oates track co-written & co-produced by Jon Bon Jovi. Though the

is keyboard based, it can be played well on an acoustic. I have tabbed this song based

the origial track and not the unplugged version which appears on the same album. The

can be barred or played normally too. So enjoy!!

Intro:

G - Am - F - G (4x)

G - Am - F

Verse 1:

C ?

They met on the dance floor, in the old high school gym

Bb F

He fell like a rock, She kinda liked him

Dm G Am

And his heart beat like thunder, as they moved cross the floor

F G Bb

But when the music was over, she slipped out of his arms

(Riff)

And out the door

Verse 2:

C ?

Yeah a man loves a woman, but he can't understand

Bb F

Why she's sad when she stares, at the ring on her hand

Dm G Am

Then she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall

F C G

Drops a coin in the jukebox, not the phone on the wall

Chorus:

G Am F G

So close, Yet so far away

G Am F G

So close, Yet so far away

F C G Am

We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today

F G

We're so close, so close

(Riff)

Yet so far away

Verse 2:

C ?

Some people think, if you really believe

Bb F

That's all you need, to solve all the mysteries

Dm G Am

Well I know someone, who just heads for the sun

F G

She says, "I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young"

Chorus:

G Am F G

So close, Yet so far away

G Am F G

So close, Yet so far away

F C G Am

We believe in tomorrow, but we're stuck in today

F G

Baby we're so close, so close

(Riff)

So far away

Verse 3:

F

There's a restless look in your eye tonight

C

There's a secret hurt in my heart

F

And the dream that pulls us together girl

Bb

Is a dream

F

That's gonna tear us, tear us apart

Verse 4:

G

There's a restless look in your eye tonight

D

Are you looking for some / way / out / of / here

G

We gotta fight, to keep it together girl

Em F#m G

For the dream that keeps us

Chorus:

A Bm G A

So close, Yet so far away

A Bm G A

So close, Yet so far away

G D A Bm

Now who would have thought girl, that we'd end up this way

G A

Livin' so close, so close

So far away

"The rest of it is A - Bm - G - A and fades till the end"
