This is an amazing song from British band McFly - Too Close for Comfort - an album the
forthcoming album. They performed it live on radio and I've figured out the chords from
it. It's the first time I've done this so fingers crossed but I think it sounds pretty
good!
There's some more complicated stuff going on, this is just a simple version that sounds
fine. I THINK there are three guitars (Dougie may be playing one too) - There is one
playing the simple chords, one playing higher chords and then the soloish bits. My bro
seems to think Danny's playing the high chords on a 12 string because it sounds fuller.
(If thats all wrong don't blame me he just said thats what he rekons.) But yeah this is
just a a first so you can have a go at playing it - it's a simple version.
Great tune, can't wait for the album.

Intro
x2
Never meant the things i said to make you cry
Can I say I'm sorry?
It's hard to forget
Yes I regret
All these mistakes
I don't know why you're leaving me
But I know you must have your reasons
There's tears in your eyes
I watch as you cry
But it's getting late
Was I invading in on your secrets?
Was I too close for comfort?
You're pushing me out when i wanted in
What was I just about to discover?
When I got too close for comfort in driving you home
Guess ill never know
The way we scratched our names into the sand
And told me you loved me
And now that I find
That you've changed your mind
I'm lost for words
And everything I feel for you
I wrote down on one piece of paper
The one in your hand
You won't understand
How much it hurts to let you go
Was I invading in on your secrets?
Was I too close for comfort?
Your pushing me out when i wanted in
What was i just about to discover
When I got too close for comfort in driving you home
Cos I'll never know
All this time you've been telling me lies
Hidden in bags that are under your eyes
And when I asked you I knew I was right
but if you turn your back on me now
When I need you most
But you just let me down, down, down.
Won't you think about what your about to do to me
And back down
(played softly)
Was I invading in on your secrets?
Was I too close for comfort?
D G(builds back up)
Your pushing me out when i wanted in
C D Em (C and D = single strum)
What was I just about to discover?
I got too close for comfort
Pushing me out when I wanted in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What was I just about to discover?
When I got too close for comfort
Driving you home
Guess I'll never know
