by James P. Pennington and Mark Gray
performed by ALABAMA
4/4 time
G F C C D|Em Em D|C C D|Em Bm Am C/D
Chorus:
The Closer You Get,[G]
the further I fall.[C]
I'll be [Am]over the edge now [D]
in no time at [G]all. [D]
I'm fallin' [G]faster and faster and faster
with no time to stall.[C]
The Closer You Get,[Am] [C/D]
the further I fall[G]
G G F|C
verse 1:
[C]The things that you say to me,[D]|[Em]
the look on your face, [D]

Do I see a trace[Bm] in your eyes[Am] of love?[C/D]
(repeat chorus)
verse 2:
Could I be dreamin'?
Is this really real?
'Cause there's something magic,
the way that I feel in your arms tonight.
(repeat chorus)
---goes into the bridge---
[C/D] the further I fall[C]
Bridge:
[C]keep fall-[D]in', oh, yeah [C]yeah, keep fall-[D]in'.
[C]mmm fall-[D/C]in', oh, yeah [C]yeah, I'm fall-[D/C]in'.

I think electric guitar intro and chorus parts go like this:
G F C D Em D C
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
----------5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
--5--5/3--5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
--5--5/3--3-3-3/5-5/7--7-7--7\5\3---------------------------------------------|
--3--3/1----------------------------------------------------------------------|
and hit these bar chords on their respective parts as well:
Bm Am D/C---same as D
---- ----|
---- ----|
---- ----|
-9-- --7-|
-9-- --7-|
-7-- --5-|
You can also hear another guitar doing an arpeggio with the minor chords when
they start with Em, Bm toward the verse/intro end.
Corrections welcomed!
