Closer
From "The Song Inside the Sounds of Breaking Down"
Tabbed by thatchadmiller (Twitter)
There are already two chord charts submitted for this, but neither of them
are complete or entirely accurate (in my opinion). Here it is with the tabs
and correct chord charts.
Intro - D
(see tab below for xylephone part to play under the intro and verse 1)
Verse 1
Come cDloser, closer to mGe.
Find me bBm7roken,A/C# find me bleedGing
cause I need mDore now than a faGiry tale,
a Bm7God who lives in a A/C#book. I need sGomeone real.
Chorus
So would you coDme? Would you Asuscome?
If I begged You, would You Em7come cD/F#loser to me noGw? Gmaj7
Verse 2
Come clDoser, closer Gto me.
Find me brBm7okenA/C#, find me oGn my knees,
cause I need mDore now than philGosophy.
Some BmGod in outer sA/C#pace doesn't mean Ganything to me.
Chorus x2
(solo is chorus chords) end on D
Bridge

Here's the solo tab. The first riff where it says "G" comes in right after
he screams "closer to me now". For the tremolo picking, I didn't tab each
note out, so just play these lines the appropriate amount of times. You'll
hear it.
