Intro: Close but no cigar, I nearly won her heart I got so close but then my whole world Fell apart I thought we were in love We came so far Now she's with someone else not me Close but no cigar Verse Last night I kissed her lips Just like before But it was in her eyes She wanted something more I never said the words I love you Almost had it all but I dropped the ball And she walked right out the door Close but no cigar, I nearly won her heart I got so close but then my whole world Fell apart I thought we were in love We came so far Now she's with someone else not me Close but no cigar Solo: same chords as Chorus Verse I had to live without What might have been He made his play Now she's with him I'll bet he tells her that he loves her Well heaven knows that I came this close But I won't have that chance again Close but no cigar, I nearly won her heart I got so close but then my whole world Fell apart I thought we were in love We came so far Now she's with someone else not me Close but no cigar Now she's with someone else not me Close but no cigar
