Let him Amcome into the Ccity
Let him find his lucky penny
Let him put it in his pocket
And shake it all around
  Am   C(4x)
AmI´ve Cbeen to Ampretty Cbuildings, Amall in Csearch for AmyouC  
I have lit all the candles, sat in all the pews
The desert had been done before, but I didn´t even care
I got sand in both my shoes and scorpions in my hair, I saw that
DOh the distance is not doable
AmIn these Cbodies of Amclay my Cbrother
DOh the distance, it makes me uncomfortable
AmGuess it´s Cnatural to Amfeel this Cway
DOh, let´s hold out for somethin´ sweeter
Spread your wings and fly
  Am   C(2x)
My Amcar Cbecame the Amchurch and CI
The worshipper of silence there
In a moment peace came over me
And the one who was breatin´ my heart appeared and
Oh the distance...
DOh, are we locked into these bodies?
Lets hold out for somethin´ sweeter
Spread your wings and fly
  Am   C(4x)
DOh, are we locked into these bodies?
Are we anything at all?
Let´s hold on for somethin´ sweeter
Spread your wings and fly
Am  C
AmThis distance  is Cdreamin´
We´re already there tonight
Let him come... (Repeat 'till fadeout)
