That Was a Close One Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I l[D]ove[G]d h[D]er be[G]cause
she was [D]there
And I [G]knew all along that it wasn't
[D]fair but [C]I didn[D]'t c[G]are[D]
Then I [G]got the hell [D]out of [G]there
[D]But that was a clo[G]se one[D][G][D][G]
I keep my freedom intact
Got rid of the hassle and rid of the flack
Yeah I [C]cut me some slack
And I never thought I'd want it
back but that was a [G]close one
That was a [C]close one and
if I hadn't run
She might have got away with me
[G]heart so I played it smart
That was a [C]close one but I kept my
cool never let down my [G]guard
That was a [D]close [G]one[C][G]
The winter of '79 so cold and lonely
I found a good woman she [C]took me inside
And I swear to god I really tried
And that was [D]a close [G]one
Will there ever be a love of my life
When I'm out of my prime
and out of my mind
In [C]the nick of time and well
the feeling in here is fine
Just the [G]close ones
That was a [C]close [G]one and
if I [C]hadn't run
She might have gotten away with
me [G]heart my precious heart
That was a [C]close one but I kept my
cool never let down my [G]guard
That was a [D]close [G]one
That was a [C]close one I loved her because
she was there that was a [G]close one
That was a [C]close one winter of
'79 that was [G]close one
That was a [C]close she finally got away
with my heart that was a close one
