So Close - Daryl Hall & John Oates
from the album "Change of Season"(1990)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
This a wonderful Hall & Oates track co-written & co-produced by Jon Bon Jovi. Though the
is keyboard based, it can be played well on an acoustic. I have tabbed this song based
the origial track and not the unplugged version which appears on the same album. The
can be barred or played normally too. So enjoy!!

Verse 1:
?
They met on the dance floor, in the old high school gym
He fell like a rock, She kinda liked him
And his heart beat like thunder, as they moved cross the floor
But when the music was over, she slipped out of his arms
(Riff)
And out the door
Verse 2:
?
Yeah a man loves a woman, but he can't understand
Why she's sad when she stares, at the ring on her hand
Then she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall
Drops a coin in the jukebox, not the phone on the wall
Chorus:
So close, Yet so far away
So close, Yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today
We're so close, so close
(Riff)
Yet so far away
Verse 2:
?
Some people think, if you really believe
That's all you need, to solve all the mysteries
Well I know someone, who just heads for the sun
She says, "I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young"
Chorus:
So close, Yet so far away
So close, Yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow, but we're stuck in today
Baby we're so close, so close
(Riff)
So far away
Verse 3:
There's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart
And the dream that pulls us together girl
Is a dream
That's gonna tear us, tear us apart
Verse 4:
There's a restless look in your eye tonight
Are you looking for some / way / out / of / here
We gotta fight, to keep it together girl
For the dream that keeps us
Chorus:
So close, Yet so far away
So close, Yet so far away
Now who would have thought girl, that we'd end up this way
Livin' so close, so close
So far away
"The rest of it is A - Bm - G - A and fades till the end"
