(from "Dear Evan Hansen" soundtrack)

[Intro]
B E B E
B
 
 
[Verse 1]
B                         E          B
Spent so many seasons lost inside my mind
E                  B
Lost inside my mind
Like a message in a bottle
            E              B
I thought nobody would find
     E            B
That nobody would find
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
              E                     B
I've been drifting, I’ve been dreaming
            F#              G#m
I would land  upon the shore
       E            B
To a haven, to a harbor
   F#
It felt so far before
 
 
[Chorus]
F#7          B  F#   G#m D#m
   Well, today, today
     E               F#                  G#m
What felt so far away  feels a little closer
      B   F#      G#m D#m     E
For today,  today,       today
F#                  B
  Feels a little closer
 
 
[Verse 2]
E B E B    B
       How long these days of darkness
       E                B
At the bottom of a well?
        E             B
That old familiar well
Sittin' heavy with these secrets
     E              B E             B
With nobody to tell,  nobody to tell
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        E                   B
High above the streak of sunlight
          F#                 G#m
And a wall  too tall to climb
           E                B
All the reaching all the wanting
        F#
Just to tumblе every time
 
 
[Chorus]
F#7        B F#     G#m D#m
   But today,  today
     E               F#                  G#m
What felt so far away  feels a little closer
      B   F#      G#m D#m     E
For today,  today,       today
F#                     B
  It feels a little closer
 
 
[Bridge]
E F# B F#/A#        G#m        F#/A#
            And the days carry on   
          E                                     B F#
The clouds come rolling in and then they're gone
       G#m              F#/A#
As the days keep coming on   
E                          C#m
 The midnight sky turns to dawn
 
 
[Chorus]
F#7    B F#     G#m D#m
   Today,  today
     E               F#                  G#m
What felt so far away  feels a little closer
      B   F#      G#m D#m     E
For today,  today,       today
F#                     B
  It feels a little closer
 
 
[Outro]
            G#m
A little closer
                     E
It feels a little closer
            F#
A little closer
                     B
It feels a little closer
