The chord progression of the song is extremely easy.It just goes the same way the whole song through :)EmYou've applied the pressureBm ATo have me crystalisedEmAnd you've got the faithBm AThat I could bring paradiseI'll forgive and forgetBefore I'm paralysedDo I have to keep up the paceTo keep you satisfiedThings have gotten closer to the sunAnd I've done things in small dosesSo don't think that I'm pushing you awayWhen you're the one that I've kept closest(ahh ahh ahh) x4You don't move slowTaking steps in my directionsThe sound resounds, echoDoes it lesson your affectionNoYou say I'm foolishFor pushing this asideBut burn down our homeI won't leave aliveGlacies have melted to the seaI wish the tide would take me overI've been down on my kneesAnd you just keep on getting closer(ahh ahh ahh) x4Glacies have melted to the sea (Things have gotten closer to the sun)I wish the tide would take me over (And I've done things in small doses)I've been down onto my knees (So don't think that I'm pushing you away)And you just keep on getting closer (When you're the one that I've kept closest)Go slow x5
