A5
There's a girl

Across the sea
                                                                   G5
And though I'm happy being loved it doesn't feel like love to me.
                          A5
Never feels like love to me.


            A5
There's a girl

Next to me
                                                         G5
And she's happy being lovely and it's not enough for me.
                      A5
It's not enough for me.

G5              F#5               D5
You're out of mind, I'm out of time,
         A5                G5
I only want what I can't see,
D5              D5                      A5
But I'll still wait for her to run to me.


Once a boy

Now a man
                                                                   G5
And even though I've grown 'the best I could' is still the best I can.
                           D5
I'm loving you the best I can

        A5
And the girl

Who's across the sea
                                                                G5
And traveled halfway round the world to be the perfect girl for me
                             A5
In all the ways you used to be.

G5              F#5                D5
You're out of mind, I'm out of time
         A5                 G5
I only want what I can't see
D5         D5                       A5
And everything about her's new to me.

E5          D5            G5          A5
Now I see everything we do as a routine
E5      D5             G5             E5
Familiarity breeds awful things in me.

G5                F#5                  D5
I was out of my mind, now I'll make time
          A5                 G5
To be the man that I could be

D5           D5                                       A5
And I was blind to think that you weren't right for me
G5           G5                               D5
And I was blind to think it lay across the sea
