 VERSE 1:
G*                                 Am        Cmaj9  C
  You can only push away at me for so long
                     G      [Riff]
  Before I get the clue
G                       Am        Cmaj9  C
  I only wonder why we waited
                   G      [Riff]
  If just to say adieu



 VERSE 2:
G                                  Am        Cmaj9  C
  Your letters used to end love always
                            G      [Riff]
  But now just always will do
G                            Am        Cmaj9  C
  I guess the answer to my question
                             G      [Riff]    G
  Distance is stronger than youth



 CHORUS 1:
       Am        C         Em     C#m7b5
  You kept us together so well
       Am         C            Em     C#m7b5
  But now that I try it's farewell
     Am       C           Em     C#m7b5
  I kept us apart for so long
      Am             C             Em     C#m7b5
  But I still won't say that was wrong
           C         F            G      [Riff]
  I still won't say    that was wrong



 VERSE 3:
G                                  Am        Cmaj9  C
  We had a chance to be the first ones
                     G      [Riff]
  To survive miles apart
G                          Am        Cmaj9  C
  But now that distance is ending
                      G      [Riff]
  You'd rather stay apart



 VERSE 4:
G                        Am        Cmaj9  C
  I still love you in my own way
                             G      [Riff]
  Although I don't think I should
G                     Am        Cmaj9  C
  I'll put a wall between us
                        G      [Riff]    G
  If that will make it good



 CHORUS 2:
       Am        C         Em     C#m7b5
  You kept us together so well
       Am         C            Em     C#m7b5
  But now that I try it's farewell
     Am       C           Em     C#m7b5
  I kept us apart for so long
      Am             C             Em     C#m7b5
  But I still won't say that was wrong
           C         F           (G)
  I still won't say    that was wrong

 BRIDGE:
D9/6            Cmaj7         G                  G*  Am7  Bm7

Em*                     Bm11             Cmaj7             G*  Am7  Bm7
  I guess we never got around to taking pictures that day
         Gmaj7    Em7                     Bm11                        Bm7*
  And it seems a shame there's nothing to hold onto, we never got our fair shake
             Am            C          (G)
 'Cause the long distance    kept us away

  And it seems a shame there's nothing to hold onto, we never got our fair shake
             Am            C           G
 'Cause the long distance    kept us away
