{4/4}| C        C C | G          | C     Csus4 | G         | 
 
      C            Csus4 
I'm a billion ages past you 
  C               Csus4 
A million years behind you too 
  Bb                G 
A thousand miles up in the air 
  Bb                  G    G6  G7 
A trillion times I've seen you there 
 
C                    Csus4 
Your hair is golden, mine is grey 
C                     Csus4 
You walk on grass, it turns to hay 
Bb                          G 
Your blood is blue and your eyes are red 
Bb                       G      G6        G7 
My body strains, but the nerves are dead 
 
{Chorus 1} 
        C               Bb 
I can't reach you, I've strained my eyes 
        C               Bb 
I can't reach you, I've split my sides 
        C      G/B    /  Am7 G6 / 
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you 
Fadd9 C/E  /  Gsus4 F/D     C 
See,  feel or hear  from you 
 
| C   | G    | C    | G    | 
 
The distances grow greater now 
You drink champagne and past me plough 
You fly your plane right over my head 
You're so alive and I'm nearly dead 
 
{Chorus 2} 
        C               Bb 
I can't reach you, with arms outstretched 
        C            Bb 
I can't reach you, I crane my neck 
        C      G/B    /  Am7 G6 / 
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you 
Fadd9 C/E  /  Gsus4 F/D  /   C  
See,  feel or hear  from you 
 
| C   | G    | C    | G     | 
 
{Bridge} 
Am                              G         (C/G)     (G) 
Once I caught a glimpse of your unguarded, untouched heart 
    Am                             G         C/G G 
Our fingertips touched and then my mind tore us apart 
 
{Repeat Chorus 2} 
 
 | C     | G    | 
 
                5 
|| D  G /|A     || A5 
 
{Chorus 3} 
        D               C 
I can't reach you, with arms outstreched 
        D            C 
I can't reach you, I crane my neck 
        D     A/C#   /  Bm7 A6  /     
I can't reach tryin' to get on  you 
Gadd9 D/F# /  Asus4/E G  D 
See,  feel or hear  from you
