Here's what I've come up with for Peter Himmelman's "Closer" off the album

"Flown this Acid World." It is not perfect, but I think it sounds very close

to the recording. There is one line of lyrics which I am not sure of. I did not

include the lyrics at the end of the song which appear in the background.

VERSE 1:

I went out in the street for a walk in the night.

Had to loosen my head, it's been wound too tight.

I've been standing on the edge

After picking a fight with you. [D RIFF 1]

Sometimes my world seems so damn small,

I can't think of nothin' 'cept for me at all.

And my thoughts surround me like a prison wall its true.

CHORUS:

I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now.

VERSE 2:

It takes all my strength to slow myself down,

My thoughts are screaming, I can't hear a sound.

Sometimes I wish there was no one around but you. [D RIFF 1]

Oh tell me you know what I'm talking about

Sometimes you're the sail? of my confusion and doubt.

And then it hurts so bad, you just wanna shout "I'm through."

CHORUS:

I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now.

I [D RIFF 2] gotta get closer to you now.

I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now.

BRIDGE:

Please excuse these things I might have said.

You see they come from my frustration, not my head.

And the last thing that I wanna do,

is create a distance,

between me and you. (Little bend on 8th fret of high E)

CHORUS:

I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now.

I [D RIFF 2] gotta get closer to you now.

I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now.

I [D RIFF 2] gotta get closer to you now.

VERSE 3:

Well there seem to be two states of mind,

One is visionary, the other blind

And the best that we can hope to find,

Is to meet somewhere in [D RIFF 1] between.

Well, the night air has pulled me back a bit

Just when I was about to quit

Trying to get a candle lit

That lets me see what can't be seen.

CHORUS:

I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now.

I [D RIFF 2] gotta get closer to you now.

I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now.

I [D RIFF 2] gotta get closer to you now.

I [D RIFF 2] wanna get closer to you now.

Same chords are used while he does his background thing.
