Come A Little Closer by Cage the Elephant
Tabbed/Edited by: JRAB

The lyrics have been bothering me and I just had to post a version with the 
proper. Props to JoshTheRipper and MrMusicManSaamto for writing this all 
out, but I just want people to learn the right words.  I'm sure these are not 
100%, but every lyric website is different.  This one is definitely the
closest though.
