Verse
F Dm Am C
Perfect, I'll be the one that you've been searching for
F Dm Am C
I'll ditch the car and get you at the door
F Dm Am C
Ensure my words have not been said before
F Dm Am C
And I'll give you everything but only show one side
F Dm Am C
Ever adventuring, a shining light
F Dm Am C
The positivity that's in your life
[chorus]
Gm Dm
But I can't keep pretending I'm somebody
Gm C
When I can get knocked down by everyone
A#
And you'll forget it when you're closer
C
When we get closer
F Dm
You'll slowly get over me
A#m F Dm Am C
So don't get closer
[Verse 2]
F Dm Am C
Maybe I'll still be the Romeo that puts love first
F Dm Am C
But words become cliched and sound rehearsed
F Dm Am C
I'll be a million miles away
[chorus]
Gm Dm
But I can't keep pretending I'm somebody
Gm C
When I can get knocked down by everyone

You'll slowly get over me
A#
And as we get older
C
As we grow older

You'll know that from afar is the best way to be with me

So don't get closer
