Closest Thing to Heaven by Tears for Fears
Verse 1:
Em2
Twenty eight days of rain, Flash floods in February,
C
Back in our boats again, Bath water and the baby.
Em2
What am I gonna do ? There's been a lot of drinking,
C
Looking at ghosts of you, While all the world is sinking.
G      A              C
Ten thousand miles into the atmosphere,
G             A               C
My body shakes, Is there a welcome here ?
Refrain :
Em    Em    C(5)
(2) - (2)		 
	Closest thing to heaven
C(5)        Em
	           (2)

Em                     C(5)Am
(2)                        (7)
	Closest thing to heaven, heaven.
Verse 2 (Repeat Verse 1 Chords) :
Throw you arms round the world, Make love your destination,
Here we go boys and girls, Act like a generation,
Give me that ball and chain, By now it must be hurting
Dragging your feet again,Just like a beast of burden.
When one and one and one and one make two
I know I'm high because I've captured you, yeah
Refrain :
Closest thing to heaven
Yeah, it's you
Closest thing to heaven, heaven
Bridge:
F2          G
Look the world right in the eye
F2                         G
Eat the countries that are making billions
F2                      G
Sweet as homemade apple pie
A               C(5)
Saved by crumbs for all the starving millions, yeah
				        Closest thing to heaven
Refrain (ad lib) :
C  Em    Em              C
