Hey you in the distance, you smiled from my past

Am---------F---------------Am--E------F----Dm-F-----------------------
Here's a song I wrote for you and all I'm left to do
C-----------------------------G-------D--Em--------------------------------

Is feel when I sing iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

F--E-------------B---Em----B----Am---------------------------------------

She speaks in staccato and she writes without rhyme
Am-----------------F----------Am--Dm--------------F---------------------

I keep leaving love about and keeping myself out
C-----------------------Em---------Bb--------------F-----------------------

All that's left is to feel it and I feel all the time

F---------------------E------B-----E---Am----E------

Save me……….save me...

Am--F----G---Am-----F----G---Am

Take the lady out walking….. with a bottle of wine
Am--Dm------C-----F-----Am--E------------------Dm-------------------

We’ll kiss a little in the glow of the drinking if it snows

C----------------------------G--------------Em-----------F------------------
She won't freeze and shatter

F--------------------------B-------Am----------------------------------------

Let her down with the dawning, let her break like she will
Am--------------F------------------Am-----------------------F-----C-------

Cause there's nothing you can do
G----------------Am--------------C-------------------------------------------

I'm the kind that makes it through, just to crumble aaaaand shatter
G--------------------D---Em---F------------------------Dm--Em--B------

But she's just being silly, so whaaat does it matter
E----------------------------B--C---D---G--Fm-B-E-------Am------------

F---------------------------Bb---------------F---------Dm-----------A-------

Take my dreams on vacation………to a room with a view
Bm----------------G------------Bm-B--F#-------------------G-----B--D----

Out the window all I see is the space inside of me
Dm----------------------A------------------F#m----Bm

That could be filled with you

Bm---------------------------F#-----C#-----F#-----------------------------------

Love lost in the difference of opinions you're gone
Bm--------G-----------------Bm-D---G------------------------------------------

And I'm home again with pride and a little love inside
D-----------------------------F#m----------------------Am-----------------------

And a lot more alone
Bm----------------F#---------------------------------------------------------------

And a lot more alone...

Bb-----------------Am--------------------------------------------------------------

All my doorways are open on todays without form
Am-----------------------F---Am--------------------F-----------------------------

And I cover up the night in the warmth of love and light

C-----------------------G--Gm------------------Em-------------------------------
And the yet to be born
E---------F----------B----E---------------------------------------------------------

I'm closing the distance with love in the far, far away
