Simple Distance

	  		
G                           C 
You seem unsure of yourself 

                        Em 
Standing off to the side 

                 D/F# 
Your eyes shining brightly towards me 

G                               C 
Tell me who broke your heart 

                             Em 
And left you all on your own 

               D/F# 
With a view of love still fading 

Em                          C 
We've got to figure this out 

             G                 D 
Why in every town, the sky is falling 

             Em 
In and all around us 

       C             G                   D 
Could it be, you and I are the ones to blame? 



Em     C      G      D    (x2) 


                       Em                     C 
At times we know which way the wind is leading 

            G                     D 
It draws us in with a swift, cool breeze 

                        Em                                 C 
And passing through our lungs, fills our chests with a new beat, 

                 G                    D 
To shrug off the darkness beneath our feet 

                      Em                C 
And what of romance?  Is it worth pursuing? 

              G                        D 
When even the right ones end up being wrong? 

                      Em                            C 
It seems we've made a mess of what's more than a feeling 

      G                       D 
Oh my god, does it break your heart? 

                     Em       C 
The distance here is growing 

                       G                    D 
And we're in danger of missing what good is left 

                        Em       C 
The ones who stay while knowing 

               G               D 
Just what an awful mess we can be 

         Em             C 
So let's slow down, to take in 

    G                       D 
The air we've been quick to dismiss 

                     Em     C 
We're falling faster now 

                       G    D 
But this is hardly the end, oh 


Em    C     G     D 


                      Em         C 
It's more than simple distance 

                    G                D 
When I've found the water's up to my neck 

                          Em       C 
I'm running purely on persistence 

                  G                  D 
Hoping faith will force forward each step 

              Em                C 
So shake your mind from slowly sinking under 

G                  D 
There's no time to sleep and wonder 

Em                 C               G        D 
What would life be like had I been brave? 

                     Em        C 
The distance here is growing 

                       G                    D 
And we're in danger of missing what good is left 

                        Em        C 
The ones who stay while knowing 

             G                 D 
Just what an awful mess we can be 

         Em            C 
So let's slow down, to take in 

    G                          D 
The air we've been quick to dismiss 

                     Em      C 
We're falling faster now, 

                       G        D 
But this is hardly the end,     oh 

           Em               C 
So what if change is simply looking forward 

    G             D                    Em       C 
And letting go of what doors have been closed 

                      G 
Maybe courage lies in moving on 

     D                     Em      C 
Even though your fear begs not to 



G    D 


                     Em      C 
The distance here is growing 

                        G              D 
And I'm afraid that the memory of your kiss 

                  Em        C 
Will be enough to stop me 



G      D
