So leave your taxi waiting
            G
And turn and close my door

                     D                   A

And I've been meaning to tell you

R: The closer you get, the better I feel...

We've been circling for time baby
We're coming down to land tonight
The wait is over and now it's easy
Everything is fine

R: The closer you get, the better I feel...

The better I feel, the closer you get
The better you see, the closer you are
The better I see, why everyone says
