{4/4} |  C5        C5 C5  |  G5           |  C5     C5  |  G5          |  
 
      C5            C5 
I'm a billion ages past you 
  C5               C5 
A million years behind you too 
  Bb5                G5 
A thousand miles up in the air 
  Bb5                  G5    G5  G5 
A trillion times I've seen you there 
 

C5                    C5 
Your hair is golden, mine is grey 
C5                     C5 
You walk on grass, it turns to hay 
Bb5                          G5 
Your blood is blue and your eyes are red 
Bb5                       G5      G5        G5 
My body strains, but the nerves are dead 
 
{Chorus 1} 
        C5               Bb5 
I can't reach you, I've strained my eyes 
        C5               Bb5 
I can't reach you, I've split my sides 
        C5      G5    /  A5 G5 / 
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you 
F5 C5  /  G5 F5     C5 
See,  feel or hear  from you 
 |  C5    |  G5     |  C5     |  G5     |  
 

The distances grow greater now 

You drink champagne and past me plough 

You fly your plane right over my head 

You're so alive and I'm nearly dead 
 
{Chorus 2} 
        C5               Bb5 
I can't reach you, with arms outstretched 
        C5            Bb5 
I can't reach you, I crane my neck 
        C5      G5    /  A5 G5 / 
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you 
F5 C5  /  G5 F5  /   C5  
See,  feel or hear  from you 
 |  C5    |  G5     |  C5     |  G5      |  
 

{Bridge} 
A5                              G5         ( C5 )     ( G5 ) 
Once I caught a glimpse of your unguarded, untouched heart 
    A5                             G5         C5 G5 
Our fingertips touched and then my mind tore us apart 
 
{Repeat Chorus 2} 
  |  C5      |  G5     |  
                5 
 |  |  D5  G5 / |  A5      |  |  A5 
 

{Chorus 3} 
        D5               C5 
I can't reach you, with arms outstreched 
        D5            C5 
I can't reach you, I crane my neck 
        D5     A5   /  B5 A5  /     
I can't reach tryin' to get on  you 
G5 D5 /  A5 G5  D5 
See,  feel or hear  from you
