Close But No Cigar

	  		
Intro: F# B 

             B                       E 
Close but no cigar, I nearly won her heart 
         F# 
I got so close but then my whole world 
      B       F# 
Fell apart 
                     B 
I thought we were in love 
           E 
We came so far 
               F#   
Now she's with someone else not me 
               B 
Close but no cigar 
 


Verse 

             F# 
Last night I kissed her lips 
            B 
Just like before 
           F# 
But it was in her eyes 
                     B 
She wanted something more 
        Eb               G#m 
I never said the words I love you 
       C#m              C#m 
Almost had it all but I dropped the ball 
        F# 
And she walked right out the door  


             B                       E 
Close but no cigar, I nearly won her heart 
         F# 
I got so close but then my whole world 
      B       F# 
Fell apart 
                     B 
I thought we were in love 
           E 
We came so far 
               F#   
Now she's with someone else not me 
             B 
Close but no cigar

Verse 
                 F# 
I had to live without 
                B 
What might have been 
            F# 
He made his play 
               B 
Now she's with him 
            Eb                G#m 
I'll bet he tells her that he loves her 
     C#m                 C#m 
Well heaven knows that I came this close 
      F# 
But I won't have that chance again  


             B                       E 
Close but no cigar, I nearly won her heart 
         F# 
I got so close but then my whole world 
     B      F# 
Fell apart 
                     B 
I thought we were in love 
           E 
We came so far 
               F#   
Now she's with someone else not me 
             B 
Close but no cigar  
               F#   
Now she's with someone else not me 
             B 
Close but no cigar
