Come A Little Closer by Cage the Elephant
Tabbed/Edited by: JRAB
The lyrics have been bothering me and I just had to post a version with the
proper. Props to JoshTheRipper and MrMusicManSaamto for writing this all
out, but I just want people to learn the right words. I'm sure these are not
100%, but every lyric website is different. This one is definitely the
closest though.
CAPO 4
[Intro]
Am Em Dm Am
[Verse 1]
Am Em
Time shakes, found you at the water
Dm Am
At first you were my father, now I love you like a brother
Am Em
Earthquakes shake the dust behind you
Dm
This world at times will blind you
Am
Still I know I'll see you there
[Chorus]
F Dm Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Am
Come on, come on, come on
F Dm Am
Things aren't always what they seem to be
Am
Come on, come on, come on
F Dm Am
Do you understand the things that you've been seein'
Am
Come on, come on, come on
F Dm Am
Do you understand the things that you've been dreamin'
F Dm Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
[Verse 2]
Am Em
Heartbreaks, the heavy world's upon your shoulders
Dm
Will we burn out or just smolder
Am
Somehow I know I found you there
Am Em
Oooh, wanna see if you can change it,
Dm Am
Change it, still I know I see you there
[Chorus]
F Dm Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Am
Come on, come on, come on
F Dm Am
Things aren't always what they seem to be
F Dm Am
Do you understand the things that you've been seein'
Am
Come on, come on, come on
F Dm Am
Do you understand the things that you've been dreamin'
F Dm Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
F Dm Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
[Bridge]
Dm
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
F
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
Dm
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
F
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
Dm
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
F Dm Am Dm E7
Ooooo
F Dm Am Dm E7
Ten thousand people stand alone now
F Dm Am
And in the evening the sun sets,
Dm E7 F
Tomorrow it will rise
F Dm Am Dm E7 F

Come a little closer, then you'll see
F Dm Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
