[Verse 1]
E         E7           A
And if you need to disappear
 E               E7           A
You'll have no reason to be sad at all
 E                   E7            A
You'll strike your own matches to logs
 E            E7                 A
May catch an eye while you play sad and soft
 E             E7             A
And if you're walking home alone
 E              E7                 A
You'll find a reason, you'll just chalk it up
  E         E7              A
To being different, being young
    E      E7             A
And wonder why no one knew you at all
 
 
[Chorus]
A                      E
Oh, you're just playin' dumb
            E7                   A
What's the cost of it, of being loved?
     Am                    E
When close is not close enough
              E7                A
Where's your line, when do you draw?
     Am                  E
When close is not close enough
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
E7   A
Mm, mm
  E    E7  A   D7
Ooh, ooh, ooh
 
 
[Verse 2]
E             E7                 A
And when you find you're at the pier
    E           E7              A
Playing out moments when there was a touch
     E         E7             A
With strangers touching everywhere
     E      E7               A
You wonder if he knows she's gonna run
 
 
[Chorus]
A                         E
Oh, it's somethin' you've done
         E7                          A
Opened my hands and I know I've shut some
      Am                 E
When close is not close enough (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
            E7                          A
Where's the fun in it? And now I'm too tough (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
     Am                  E
From close being just too much
 
E7   A
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
E    E7
Mm, mm
A     D7    E
Ooh, ooh, ooh

I watched her live performance - the verses are actually E, then B, then B7add6, then F#m. For B, just do the E-shape bar chord at the 7th fret, and then for B7add6, just do the same thing but remove your pinky from the D string and just put it on the B string at the same fret. Voila! She does use A and A7 in the chorus though as written here. Thanks!

sounds good! i also find that in the chorus an Am or Am7 also sounds good in the place of A7. idk if it’s accurate but it suits the progression really well.
