Beyond The View

C Am Em 2x


[Verse 1]
   C
I saw you through a telescope
                  Am          Em
A million miles away in the night
    C
A partial glimpse of subtleties
                Am           Em
Far beyond the view of naked eyes

C Am Em 2x
(vocalizing)

    C
I mapped the course of shooting stars
                  Am              Em
Sent from you as hints of who you are
         C                                             Am                 Em
I lost sight of you in the black, caught up searching For the traits you lack


          D               Am         Em
But the distance is the lesser crime done


[Pre-Chorus]
    G
I know this hurts

It's not the first

But it is the worst
    Am
And you deserve

 Em
More than me

I hope you see

Love is lost
    D
And I can't be

      G
The saving light

Of your life

In the dark
Am
I must hide

    Em
To keep you safe

Far from hate

I hope you know


[Chorus]
D              G      Am
You deserve better, better
               C          Em
You deserve, you deserve better
               G      Am
You deserve better, better
              C            Em
You deserve, you deserve better
D     C
Than me

C Am Em 2x
(vocalizing)


[Verse 2]
            C
What I'm searching for I do not know
                  Am           Em
Maybe I can't comprehend your light
        C
Oh my head, round and round it goes
                Am               Em
Looking back I wish we took our time

          C
But it's not a waste
               Am
This game we play
      Em
It's all for what we learn

            C
And if we choose to break
       Am
Or hesitate
     Em
Take it for what it's worth

            D             Am          Em
But the distance is the lesser crime done


[Pre-Chorus]
    G
I know this hurts

It's not the first

But it is the worst
    Am
And you deserve

 Em
More than me

I hope you see

Love is lost
    D
And I can't be

      G
The saving light

Of your life

In the dark
Am
I must hide

    Em
To keep you safe

Far from hate

I hope you know


[Chorus]
D              G      Am
You deserve better, better
               C          Em
You deserve, you deserve better
               G      Am
You deserve better, better
              C            Em
You deserve, you deserve better
D     C
Than me

C Am Em D 4x
