These are the chords for A Little Closer in Dear Evan Hansen by Colton Ryan on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
E
Spent so many seasons
 Esus
 lost inside my mind
A             E
Lost inside my mind
       E
Like a message in a bottle
           Esus         E
 I thought nobody would find
     A/C#  B/D#   E
That nobody would find

[Pre-Chorus]
          A
I've been drifting,
             E
 I've been dreaming I
        B             C#m
would land upon the shore
     A           E
To a haven, to a harbor
      B           Badd4
 that felt so far before

[Chorus]
      E   B  C#m G#m
Well, today, today,
     A            B
what felt so far away

feels a little closer

For today, today, today,

     it feels a little closer

[Verse 2]
    E
How long these days of
                   Esus
darkness at the bottom
of a well
     A     A/C#    E
That old familiar well
        E
Seemed heavy with these
              A/C# B/D# E
 secrets with nobody to tell
A/C# B/D# E
Nobody to tell

[Pre-Chorus]
      A
High above a streak of
 E              B
sunlight and a wall
             C#m
too tall to climb
         A
All the reaching,
          E
all the wanting just
      B               Badd4
to tumblе every time

[Chorus]
      E  B  C#m G#m
But, today, today,
     A            B
what felt so far away
                 C#m
feels a little closer
     E  B  C#m G#m  A
For today, today, today,
B Badd4                E
     it feels a little closer

[Bridge]
        A/C#        B/D#
And the days carry on
    A
The clouds come rolling
                     E
in and then they're gone
       A/C#             B/D#
As the days keep coming on
A
The midnight sky
           F#m E/G# Badd4
turns to dawn

[Chorus]
 E B/D# C#m B       A
Today,  today, what felt
          B
so far away feels
            C#m
 a little closer
    E  B   C#m E/G#
For today,  today,
 A B Badd4
today,   it feels a little
   E                Esus
 closer, a little closer
                  E
It feels a little closer,
          Esus
 a little closer
                  E
It feels a little closer
