Coming Up Close -

C2 X32033

One night in Iowa, he and I in a borrowed car

Went driving in the summer, promises in every star

Out in the distance I could hear some people laughing

I felt my heart beat back a weekend’s worth of sadness

There was a farmhouse that had long since been deserted G We stopped and carved our hearts into the wooden surface Em We thought just for an instant we could see the future C (2)

We thought for once we knew what really was important Am Coming up close

Everything sounds like welcome home

Come home and oh, by the way

Don’t you know that I could make

A dream that’s barely half-awake come true

I wanted to say —

But anything I could have said

I felt somehow that you already knew

We got back in the car and listened to a Dylan tape G We drove around the fields until it started getting late Em And I went back to my hotel room on the highway C (2)

And he just got back in his car and drove away Am Coming up close G C2

Everything sounds like welcome home G Come home and oh, by the way C2 G Don’t you know that I could make Em A dream that’s barely half-awake come true Am C I wanted to say — but anything I could have said G Em

I felt somehow that you already knew Am C Coming up close G C2

Everything sounds like welcome home G Come home C2 G Coming up close G C2

Everything sounds like welcome home G Come home Come on home C2 G
