Come Close Now

G C G C G C I’m afraid of the space where you suffer G C Where you sit in the smoke and the burn G C I can’t handle the choke or the danger G C Of my own foolish, inadequate words Am I’ll be right outside if you need me C Right outside G Em What can I bring to your fire? C D Shall I sing while the roof is coming down? G Em Can I hold you while the flames grow higher C D Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now? G C Can I come close now? G C So we left you to fight your own battle G C And you buried your hope with your faith G C ’Cause you heard no song of deliverance G C There on the nights that followed the wake Am We never thought to go with you C Afraid to ask G Em What can I bring to your fire? C D Shall I sing while the roof is coming down? G Em Can I hold you while the flames grow higher C D Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now? G Can I come close now? Em Lay down our plans C Lay down the sure-fire fix Em Grief’s gonna stay awhile C There is no cure for this G We watch for return D We speak what we’ve heard Am D We sit together, in the burn G Em Oh C D Oh G Em Oh C D Oh G Em What can I bring to your fire? C D Shall I sing while the roof is coming down? G Em Can I hold you while the flames grow higher C D Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now? G Can I come close now? C G C Mm
