EWhere I belong

 Closer to F♯myou, closer to C♯myou

 strutting up your avenue F♯m

AAll the knocks upon your door

AFootsteps fallen on your floor

F♯mAll the shipwrecks on your shore

F♯mMean nothing to me

DCriminals on the dollar bills

BmAll the money on Wall Street still

ECouldn't keep me from getting

 Closer to F♯myou. Closer to C♯myou

 In the early C♯mafternoon

 Closer to F♯myou. F♯m

Oh baby I'll get through
