VERSE 1:
A      F#m              D
How do I get close to you?
Bm                A         F#m            Bm   D
Even if you don't notice as I admire you on the subway
A         F#m                 D
When it's dark outside your house
    Bm                A
You won't let anybody out
    F#m            Bm     D
And keep a padlock on the door, well

And I'm on your trail
 
CHORUS:
A           D
If I should fall
D                      A
Act as though it never happened

I will retreat

And sit inside so very quietly

You're keeping a dead girl in the closet
