Simple Distance

(início)

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                 D
Why in every town, the sky is falling
             Em
In and all around us
       C             G                   D
Could it be, you and I are the ones to blame?
Em     C      G      D    (x2)
                       Em                     C
At times we know which way the wind is leading
            G                     D
It draws us in with a swift, cool breeze
                        Em                                 C
And passing through our lungs, fills our chests with a new beat,
                 G                    D
To shrug off the darkness beneath our feet
                      Em                C
And what of romance?  Is it worth pursuing?
              G                        D
When even the right ones end up being wrong?
                      Em                            C
It seems we've made a mess of what's more than a feeling
      G                       D
Oh my god, does it break your heart?
                     Em       C
The distance here is growing
                       G                    D
And we're in danger of missing what 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                D
When I've found the water's up to my neck
                          Em       C
I'm running purely on persistence
                  G                  D
Hoping faith will force forward each step
              Em                C
So shake your mind from slowly sinking under
G                  D
There's no time to sleep and wonder
Em                 C               G        D
What would life be like had I been brave?
                     Em        C
The distance here is growing
                       G                    D
And we're in danger of missing what 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
So what if change is simply looking forward
    G             D                    Em       C
And letting go of what doors have 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              D
And I'm afraid that the memory of your kiss
                  Em        C
Will be enough to stop me
