You're Nearer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Time is a healer,
but it cannot heal my heart.
My mind says I've forgotten you,
and then I feel my [B]heart.
[G]The miles lie between us,
but your fingers touch my own.
You're never far away from me,
for you're too [C]much my
[G]own[D].[G]
You're nearer than my
head [Am]is to m[G]y pillow
[D]Nearer [G]than the wind is
to [Em]the w[Am]il l[G]ow
[Em]Dear[A]er than the rain
[D]is to the [B]earth [Em]below,
[A]Precious as the sun to [G]the things
[C]that [G]grow.[B][G][Am][G]
You're nearer than the ivy
[Am]to the w[Dsus4]all is,[D]
[G]Near[Em] er than[G] the winter [A]to t[D]he[B] fall is
[Em]Believe me that [A]when you're away[G]
[C]You'll [G]know [C]you're [G]nea[Em]rer[Am]
For I [Dsus4]love you [G]so[Em][G][Am][C][Dsus4]
[C][G][D][Em][C#dim][A][D][B][F#m]
[B]Lea[Em]ve me,
[G]but whe[A]n you're awa[G]y,
[Cm]you'll know [D]you're [G]nearer,[Em]
[A]for[Am] I lo[Dsus4]ve you s[G]o.[C]
[Cm][G]
