The more you ignore me
D G
The closer I get
Bm C D
You're wasting your time
G Bm C
The more you ignore me

[Verse]
Am
I will be
D
In the bar
Am
With my head
D
On the bar
Am
I am now
Bm
A central part
Em
Of your mind's landscape
Am
Whether you care
D
Or do not
G
Yeah, I've made up your mind
[Chorus]
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
The more you ignore me
The closer I get
You're wasting your time
[Verse]
Beware!
I bear more grudges
Than lonely high court judges
When you sleep
I will creep
Into your thoughts
Like a bad debt
That you can't pay
Take the easy way
And give in
Yeah, and let me in
[Chorus]
Oh, let me in
Oh, let me
Oh, let me in
[Verse]
It's war
It's war
It's war
It's war
It's war war war war war
Let me in
[Chorus]
Oh, the closer I get
Oh, you musn't forget
Oh, the closer I get
Oh, the closer I
