B                              E
And we're as close as two sweethearts could be,
E
But we're a husband and a wife who can't be together,
               B                         A             E
When there's a thousand miles distance between you and me.


[Chorus]
    B                         B7           E
Cos I need you here more than I need these tears,
                B                A             E
The more you're gone the more I miss you every day,
          B
Until I'm holdin' you tight,
            B7         E
There won't be nothing right,
                              A       E
When we're so close yet we're so far away.

[Verse 2]
            E
When I'm so tired of being alone,
E
And I call you on the phone,
           B                       B7              E
For just a moment it's like you're right here with me,
E
And the miles that we're apart they start breakin' my heart,
         B                B7         A               E
How far away and how much closer can two sweethearts be.


[Chorus]
    B                         B7           E
Cos I need you here more than I need these tears,
                B                A             E
The more you're gone the more I miss you every day,
          B
Until I'm holdin' you tight,
            B7         E
There won't be nothing right,
                              A       E
When we're so close yet we're so far away.
