Tower Song

C  Em               Dm      F G7
So close and yet so far away
G7                     F       C
And all the things I'd hope to say
F               Em     Am
Will have to go unsaid today
F               G7
Perhaps until tomorrow
C    Em                 Dm          F  G7
Your fears have built a wall between
G7                     F      C
Our lives and all that loving means
F                 Em      Am
Will have to go unfelt it seems
F            G
Leaving only sorrow

[Chorus]
F                    G          Em
You built your tower strong and tall
F                  G           C
Can't you see it's got to fall someday

[Verse]
C   Em                  Dm          F G7
You close your eyes and speak to me
G7                   F    C
Of faith and love and destiny
F             Em     Am
As distant as eternity
F                   G7
From truth and understanding
C   Em                 Dm            F  G7
The wind blows cold outside your door
G7                    F        C
It whispers words I've tried before
F                     Em  Am
But you don't hear me anymore
F                         G
You're pride's just too demanding

[Chorus]
F                    G          Em
You built your tower strong and tall
F                  G           C
Can't you see it's got to fall someday

[Verse]
C  Em             Dm             F G7
The end is coming soon it's plain
G7                   F          C
A warm bed just ain't worth the pain
F                 Em     Am
And I will go and you'll remain
F                     G7
With bitterness we've tasted
C    Em             Dm            F  G7
A mother's breast a new born child
G7              F        C
A poet's tears a drunken smile
F                     Em      Am
I can't help thinking all the while
F                      G
Their meaning won't be wasted

[Chorus]
F                    G          Em
You built your tower strong and tall
F                  G           C
Can't you see it's got to fall someday
