      Come A Little Closer by Cage the Elephant
Tabbed/Edited by: JRAB

The lyrics have been bothering me and I just had to post a version with the 
proper. Props to JoshTheRipper and MrMusicManSaamto for writing this all 
out, but I just want people to learn the right words.  I'm sure these are not 
100%, but every lyric website is different.  This one is definitely the
closest though.

CAPO 4


[Intro]

Am Em Dm Am


[Verse 1]

Am                            Em
Time shakes, found you at the water
                     Dm                            Am
At first you were my father, now I love you like a brother
Am                           Em
Earthquakes shake the dust behind you
                        Dm
This world at times will blind you
                          Am
Still I know I'll see you there


[Chorus]

F             Dm                  Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Am
Come on, come on, come on
F                     Dm               Am
Things aren't always what they seem to be
Am
Come on, come on, come on
F           Dm                                Am
Do you understand the things that you've been seein'
Am
Come on, come on, come on
F           Dm                                Am
Do you understand the things that you've been dreamin'
F             Dm                  Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see


[Verse 2]

Am                                       Em
Heartbreaks, the heavy world's upon your shoulders
                        Dm
Will we burn out or just smolder
                          Am
Somehow I know I found you there
Am                        Em
Oooh, wanna see if you can change it,
Dm                               Am
Change it, still I know I see you there


[Chorus]

F             Dm                  Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Am
Come on, come on, come on
F                    Dm                Am
Things aren't always what they seem to be
F           Dm                                Am
Do you understand the things that you've been seein'
Am
Come on, come on, come on
F           Dm                                Am
Do you understand the things that you've been dreamin'
F             Dm                  Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
F             Dm                  Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see


[Bridge]

Dm
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
F
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
Dm
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
F
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
Dm
Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
F        Dm     Am      Dm E7
Ooooo

F            Dm           Am           Dm E7
Ten thousand people stand alone now
F          Dm              Am
And in the evening the sun sets,
Dm      E7       F
Tomorrow it will rise

(F)        Dm       Am         Dm       E7    F
Tiiiiiiiime fliiiiies byyyyyy, they all sang along
(F)        Dm       Am         Dm       E7    F
Tiiiiiiiime fliiiiies byyyyyy, they all sang along
(F)        Dm       Am         Dm       E7    F
Tiiiiiiiime fliiiiies byyyyyy, they all sang along
(F)    Dm           Am       Dm    E7
Tiiiiiiiime fliiiiiiiies byyyyyyy, byyyyyyy


[Chorus]

F             Dm                  Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Am
Come on, come on, come on
F             Dm                  Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
F             Dm                  Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
F             Dm                  Am
Come a little closer, then you'll see
