BmI hear you crying and I kDnow
What it's like to be aF#mlone
You're scAared and I'm not thBmere
It's like you're living with a gDhost
Someone you can't hF#mold
And you, sAay it's so unEmfairG  
[Chorus:]
And juAst so you knoDw
The distance is what's kiGlling me
Time and space have become the eBmnemy
And wAhat I need is so fGar away
AAnd so it gDoes
The distance makes it haGrd to breathe
My heart won't let go eBmasily
I don't waAnt to be this faGr away
BmI'm lying by myseDlf
The silence seems to sF#mwell
Some-dAay this all will cBmhange
It's a temporary paDin
See your face and speak your F#mname
Till then I'll scAream into the nEmightG  
[Chorus]
And juAst so you knoDw
The distance is what's kiGlling me
Time and space have become the eBmnemy
And wAhat I need is so fGar away
AAnd so it goDes
The distance makes it haGrd to breathe
My heart won't let go eBmasily
I don't waAnt to be this faGr away
EmWell I've got my life
GAnd you've got my world tonEmight
And I mD/F#iss you (I miss you), I mGiss you (I miss you)
[Chorus]
And juAst so you knoDw
The distance is what's kiGlling me
Time and space have become the eBmnemy
And wAhat I need is so fGar away
And sAo it goesD  
The distance makes it haGrd to breathe

Bm D

I hear you crying and I know

F#m

What it's like to be alone

A Bm

You're scared and I'm not there

It's like you're living with a ghost

F#m

Someone you can't hold

A Em G

And you, say it's so unfair

[Chorus:]

A D

And just so you know

The distance is what's killing me

Time and space have become the enemy

A G

And what I need is so far away

A D

And so it goes

The distance makes it hard to breathe

My heart won't let go easily

A G

I don't want to be this far away

Bm D

I'm lying by myself

F#m

The silence seems to swell

A Bm

Some-day this all will change

It's a temporary pain

F#m

See your face and speak your name

A Em G

Till then I'll scream into the night

[Chorus]

A D

And just so you know

The distance is what's killing me

Time and space have become the enemy

A G

And what I need is so far away

A D

And so it goes

The distance makes it hard to breathe

My heart won't let go easily

A G

I don't want to be this far away

Well I've got my life

G Em

And you've got my world tonight

D/F# G

And I miss you (I miss you), I miss you (I miss you)

[Chorus]

A D

And just so you know

The distance is what's killing me

Time and space have become the enemy

A G

And what I need is so far away

A D

And so it goes

The distance makes it hard to breathe

My heart won't let go easily

A G

I don't want to be this far away
