CCsus4
I'm a billion ages past you
CCsus4
A million years behind you too
BbG
A thousand miles up in the air
BbGG6G7
A trillion times I've seen you there
CCsus4
Your hair is golden, mine is grey
CCsus4
You walk on grass, it turns to hay
BbG
Your blood is blue and your eyes are red
BbGG6G7
My body strains, but the nerves are dead
Chorus 1
CBb
I can't reach you, I've strained my eyes
CBb
I can't reach you, I've split my sides
CG/B / Am7G6 /
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you
Fadd9C/E / Gsus4F/DC
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
CBb
I can't reach you, with arms outstretched
CBb
I can't reach you, I crane my neck
CG/B / Am7G6 /
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you
Fadd9C/E / Gsus4F/D / C
See, feel or hear from you
| C | G | C | G |
Bridge
AmG (C/G) (G)
Once I caught a glimpse of your unguarded, untouched heart
AmGC/GG
Our fingertips touched and then my mind tore us apart
Repeat chorus 2
