Berikut lirik dan chord lagu “Getting Closer” yang dinyanyikan oleh Billy Joel:
A G
I went searching for the truth
Em A
But in my innocence I found
A G
All the con men and their acrobats
Em A
Who stomped me in the ground
A G
If I count up their percentages
Em A
I know they're getting rich
A G
But they haven't taken everything
Em A
Those paybacks are a bitch
C
Though I've lost quite a lot
G
I am still in control
C
They can keep what they've got
A
But they can't have my soul
D G A D
And if I don't have this all worked out
D G A D
Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
D G A Bm
I still have far to go no doubt
D G A D
But I'm getting closer, getting closer
A G
What was ripped off by professionals
Em A
Is not all that it seems
A G
While I must live up to contracts
Em A
I did not give up my dreams
A G
If I see it as experience
Em A
It hasn't gone to waste
A G
Lately all the missing pieces
Em A
Have been falling into place
C G
And if I could go back and start over somehow
C
I would not change that much
A
Knowing what I know now
D G
Thought there have been sins
A D
I will regret
D G A D
Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
D G A Bm
I don't have all the answers yet
D G A D
But I'm getting closer, getting closer
SOLO:
G F A G (A could be Dm) (X4)
A G Em A (X4)
A G
I'm a mark for every shyster
Em A
From Topanga to Berlin
A G
And I should have learned to kick them out
Em A
As soon as they crawled in
A G
So to every bank in Switzerland
Em A
That stores my stolen youth
A G
I'm alright because despite the laws
Em A
You cannot hide the truth
C
And although you will say
G
I am still too naive
C
Well I have not lost faith
A
In the things I believe
D G A D
And if I don't have a this all worked out
D G A D
Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
D G A Bm
I still have far to go no doubt
D G A D
But I'm still getting closer, getting closer
