So Close - Daryl Hall & John Oates
from the album "Change of Season"(1990)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ryan "Sambo" Mascarenhas
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!!

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