David Mallett - Closer to truth

^CI sit alone in the morning light, ^FA piece of paper in my ^Ghand. ^CI didn't get to sleep last night, I was ^Fthinkin' 'bout my old ^Gfriend. ^FBad news comin' down the wire, ^GAnother victim of unfriendly fire.

We are closer to ^Ctruth, ^{G F} In dangerous ^Ctimes, ^Gwe are closer to tr^Cuth.

^CPain and suffering all about, ^FNever hit so close to ^Ghome. ^CRight now I'm so filled with doubt, Has ^FGod left us all a^Glone? ^FStarin' up at the empty sky's, ^GDoes anyone know why?

We are closer to tr^Cuth, ^{G F} In dangerous time^Cs, ^Gwe are closer to tr^Cuth. ^{G F} We are nearer to ^CGod, ^{G F} When our lived are on the ^Cline, ^Gwe are nearer to ^CGod.

^CThe last time I saw my friend, ^FHe just laughed and said good^Gbye. ^CThat's how I'll always think of him, ^FStandin' there so a^Glive. ^FThrough the best and worst of times, ^Gseems we always find.

We are closer to ^Ctruth, ^{G F} In dangerous ^Ctimes, ^Gwe are closer to tr^Cuth. ^{G F} And we are nearer to ^CGod, ^{G F} When our lived are on the ^Cline, ^Gwe are nearer to ^CGod. ^{G F} And we are dying for ^Clove, ^{G F} For all of man^Ckind, ^Gwe are dying for ^Clove. ^FIn dangerous ^Ctimes, ^Gin dangerous ti^Cmes.
