THAT'S AS CLOSE AS I'LL GET TO LOVING YOU    Arron Tippin

F                          Eb
Baby we'll never be seen together
     F   Eb              Bb
At night on a crowded street
        F                      Eb
I may never reach across your body
                                 Bb
To kill the light when you're asleep
F                             Eb
Maybe I'll never watch you dressing
           F          Eb             Bb
Or won't sound too familiar on the phone
            F                 Eb
But I can touch your hand accidentally
                       F    C
And take that moment home

CHORUS:

C           F                    Bb
That's as close as I'll get to loving you
        F                    Bb              C
Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
        C          F           Bb                Eb
I can dream I can hope I can scheme but still I know
 Bb         F               Gm           C    Dm   Eb
That's as close as I'll get to   loving you


F                                Eb
I won't be there when you need holding
         F        Eb                Bb
But I'm sure that he can pull you through
            F                 Eb
But I can sing this song to everybody
                            F   C
And pretend it's not about you      go to chorus 2		

CHORUS 2 (KEY CHANGE)

F           Bb                   Eb
That's as close as I'll get to loving you
Bb                           Eb              F
Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
        F          Bb           Eb               Ab
I can dream I can hope I can scheme but still I know
Eb          Bb              Cm           F   Gm  Ab
That's as close as I'll get to   loving you

repeat chorus 2
