Capo 5
[Verse]
CIf I had a chance, EmI’d take it faster than the heart beat
CIf I caught a glance, EmI’d run to you like nobody was watching
AmBut it’s so hard to get to you
G‘Cause when you see the sun, I see the moon
[Chorus]
CBuckets of water, millions of clouds, Emmiles of road just to get where you are
AmOh I wish it wasn’t so Gfar
CThousands of dollars, just to be near, cEmountless thoughts of you being here
AmOh I wish it wasn’t so Ghard
AmBut maybe one day we can Gbreak the distance
 C///////  Em///////  Am///////  G//// 
[Verse 2]
CI know it’s hard, Emfor everyone to understand it
CBut you’re in my heart, Emeven though it feels like we are stranded
AmAnd I wish I could get to you Gsee you face-to-face without a screen cutting through
[Chorus]
CBuckets of water, millions of clouds, Emmiles of road just to get where you are
AmOh I wish it wasn’t so Gfar
CThousands of dollars, just to be near, cEmountless thoughts of you being here
AmOh I wish it wasn’t so Ghard
AmBut maybe one day we can Gbreak the distance

CClouds will you please help me out, EmI need to go and see them now
C7Pick me up off my feet, I know that it’s crazy, but I Fam ready with my sFmuitcase by me
CClouds will you please help me out, EmI need to go see them now
C7Pick me up off my feet I know that it’s crazy, but FI am ready with my Fmsuitcase by me
