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               
Why in every town, the sky is 
  D
falling

             Em
In and all around us

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



Em     C      G      D    (x2)


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

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

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

                 G               
To shrug off the darkness beneath 
     D
our feet

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

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

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

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

                     Em       C
The distance here is growing

                       G           
And we're in danger of missing what
         D
 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              
When I've found the water's up to 
  D
my neck

                          Em       C
I'm running purely on persistence

                  G                
Hoping faith will force forward 
  D
each step

              Em              
So shake your mind from slowly 
  C
sinking under

G                  D
There's no time to sleep and wonder

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

                     Em        C
The distance here is growing

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

                        Em        C

             G                 D
Just what an awful mess we can be

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

    G                          D

                     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               
And letting go of what doors have 
     Em       C
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        
And I'm afraid that the memory of 
      D
your kiss

                  Em        C
Will be enough to stop me
