Come Close Now (CHORDS) by Christa Wells
[Intro]~
A D
A D
[Verse 1]~
A D
I’m afraid of the space where you suffer
A D
Where you sit in the smoke and the burn
A D
I can’t handle the choke or the danger
A D
Of my own foolish,..!! inadequate words
Bm
I’ll be right outside if you need me
D
Right outside
[Chorus]~
A F#m
What can I bring to your fire!!..?
D E
Shall I sing while the roof is coming down!!..?
A F#m
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
D E
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now!!..?
A D
Can I come close now!!..?
[Verse 2]~
A D
So we left you to fight your own battle
A D
And you buried your hope with your faith
A D
’Cause you heard no song of deliverance
A D
There on the nights that followed the wake
Bm
We never thought to go with you
D
Afraid to ask
[Chorus]~
A F#m
What can I bring to your fire!!..?
D E
Shall I sing while the roof is coming down!!..?
A F#m
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
D E
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now!!..?
A
Can I come close now!!..?
[Bridge]~
F#m
Lay down our plans
D
Lay down the sure-fire fix
F#m
Grief’s gonna stay awhile
D
There is no cure for this
A
We watch for return
E
We speak what we’ve heard
Bm E
We sit together,..!! in the burn
A F#m
Oh
D E
Oh
A F#m
Oh
D E
Oh
[Chorus]~
A F#m
What can I bring to your fire!!..?

Shall I sing while the roof is coming down!!..?
A F#m
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
D E
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now!!..?
A
Can I come close now!!..?
