I (Gadd9) loved her because she was (G) there

That was a (G) close one

Got (Gadd9) rid of the hassle and (G) rid of the flack 
Yeah, I (C) cut me some slack 
And, I never thought I''d want it back 
That was a (G) close one 
 
That was a (C) close one 
And if I hadn''t have run 
She might''ve got away with my (G) heart 
(So, I played it smart/My precious heart) 
That was a (C) close one

That was a (D) close one (D7sus)

In the nick of time 
And will it (C) feel any nearer as fine 
As the (G) close one 
 
That was a (C) close one 
And if I hadn''t have run 
She might''ve got away with my (G) heart 
(So, I played it smart/My precious heart)

I kept my cool and never let down my (G) gaurd 
That was a (D) close one (D7sus)

That was a (C) close one
