Gordon Lightfoot - Never Too Close CAPO: 2nd Fret [INTRO:] [VERSE 1:] I remember when best friends were jealous lovers Lying warm asleep beneath the covers Dreaming of belonging to each other [CHORUS:] And so we tried never too close Never too near dying in time And so we cried but that is alright We meant no one no harm [VERSE 2:] I remember when best friends were not mistaken Long before that freedom was forsaken Learning about all the good things in the world worth believing [CHORUS:] And so we tried never too close Never too near dying in time And so we cried but that is alright We meant no one no harm [INSTRUMENTAL:] [VERSE 3:] I remember when jealous lovers would stick together When the days were warm and the nights more tender When the bonds of truth were not made to measure [CHORUS:] And so we tried never too close Never too near dying in time And so we cried but that is alright We meant no one no harm [CHORUS:] Try try as you will Following dreams never fulfilled And so we cried but that is alright We meant no one no harm [OUTRO:]
