[Verse 1]
[G](I said)
Down at the street around half past nine

[Bb]I bent down low so i could
[C]hear what he said
He said [Bb]tell me the truth am
I [C]nearly that dead
I said [Bb]you're close as you'll [F]ever [G]be
Oh [Gm]yea you're as c[Bb]lose
as you'll [F]ever be
[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Down on the beach around
half past [C]five
[G]I saw a pretty girl on a
deckchair reclining
[C]A grin split her face from ear to ear
[G]I went up close I must have got too near
Cos I [Bb]never saw the guy on
the [C]sea- front cafe
[Bb]Leaving his seat come and
[C]running my way

[Verse 3]
Saying you're [Bb]close as
you'll [F]ever [G]be
Oh yea you're [Bb]close as you'll [F]ever [G]be
