The Beautiful South - Closer than most

^G#Well I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open ^A#and it made me long for little last night ^C#Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet ^G#But a sweet worth every bite ^G#Now I'm not normally one to be greedy ^A#But I had to be greedy with you ^C#5 days, 6 days. the whole of the month ^G#wouldn't satisfy my only sweet tooth

Well it can ^G#take many years to forge a friendship It can t^A#ake a lifetime to get close But we ^C#took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map ^G#and we still got closer than most

^G#Well excuse my staring but it's just your looks ^A#are a standard well above myself ^C#Your face might mean zip to you ^G#But to me it's something else ^G#All I can do is thank you ^A#and wish that every dream you have will come true ^C#5 years, 6 years, the whole of your life ^G#I'll be wishing for the riches for you

Well it can ^G#take many years to forge a friendship It can ^A#take a lifetime to get close But we t^C#ook all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map ^G#and we still got closer than most

^G#You dashed pretty's only chance of a compliment ^A#and gave the plain the blues ^C#Turned supermodel into last year's pull ^G#and got her down shining your shoes ^G#And I don't mean to be hod carrier ^A#of the ordinary folks bad news ^C#But tell Miss World to fly to Mars ^G#If she really doesn't like to lose.

Well it can ^G#take many years to forge a friendship It can ^A#take a lifetime to get close But we ^C#took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map ^G#and we still got closer than most
