Introd.: E7 

                    A     E7          G/B      Em7 
It's not the pale moon that excites me, 
A5+    D             Fdim      Dm  A  F#7  Bm5-/7  E7 
That thrills and delights me, oh, no  
              Bm5-/7   E7    A    F#7   Bm5-/7  E7 
It's just the nearness of you. 
            A     E7        G/B      Em7 
It isn't your sweet conversation 
A5+    D             Fdim    Dm  A  F#7  Bm5-/7  E7 
That brings this sensation, oh, no  
              Bm5-/7 E7      A    D9   A 
It's just the nearness of you. 

    

Bridge:

Fdim When you're in my arms, A A7 And I feel you so close to me, D F#7 Bm7 G7 E7 All my wildest dreams come true. A E7 G/B Em7 I need no soft lights to enchant me, A5+ D Fdim Dm A F#7 Bm5-/7 E7 If you'll only grant me the right Bm5/7 F# Bm To hold you ever so tight, Bm5-/7 E7 E7/13 And to feel in the night E7 Bm5-/7 E7 A D Dm A The nearness of you.
