G7                   C7
Smokey the bear said only you can
G7                    C7
Lightning said Smokey that's not true
       G7                C7
Though sometimes I can't help myself
           G7                           C7
You know I strike at will, it's nothing personal

[Chorus I]
Am                     Bm7
I'm just trying to get close enough
   C               Em7
To see the face of love
   C             Em7    C   Em7
To be in the face of love...

    G7          C7
One combination still impresses
G7              C7
Women, wind and summer dresses
G7                      C7
Meet me underneath that hollow tree
  G7                            C7
I hope you don't mind if thunder follows me

[Chorus II]
Am                       Bm7
We're just trying to get close enough
   C               Em7
To see the face of love
   C             Em7    C   Em7
To be in the face of love...

Gm7  C7  Gm7  C7

        G7                  C7
There's Franklin's kite and Franklin's key
    G7                      C7
And Frankenstein they owe a debt to me
     G7               C7
I've lit them up I've knocked them down
     G7             C7
I've put them early underground

[Chorus III]
Am                       Bm7
We're just trying to get close enough
   C               Em7
To see the face of love
   C             Em7    C   Em7
To be in the face of love...

          G7                 C7
There are bolts for them out of the blue
G7                         C7
Volts for us we'll hit the heights for you
  G7               C7
I come by cloud, I come by storm
         G7                   C7
When the pressure drops, when cool meets warm

[Chorus IV]
Am                     Bm7
I'm just trying to get close enough
   C               Em7
To see the face of love
   C             Em7    C   Em7   C7
To be in the face of love...
