Chorus:

Dm (hammer on the high e string here (0h1) and end on 000230)
smoke.
and you were always


Dm                                   Am  
as far as Mongolia, as close as my clothes
                                Amadd9       C/G
your presence pervading, but it still never shows
                                      F
as close as the answer I never quite know, or can?t quite remember

Dm                                     Am
your distance insidious, as soft as a blow
                       Amadd9    C/G
your shadow is with me wherever I go

                                                     F
it?s on the tip of my tongue but still I never quite know, or can?t quite remember

verse

Dm                                     Am
your distance insidious, as soft as a blow
                       Amadd9     C/G
your shadow is with me wherever I go

                                                     
it?s on the tip of my tongue it's on the tip of my...

F                       G                       
that you weren?t so far away
         Dm               F
that you weren?t so far away

                        G
that you weren?t so far away
               Dm             F       
that you were never that far away
                        G                       
that you weren?t so far away
         Dm               F
that you weren?t so far away

                     G      Dm
that you weren?t so far... away

(this is the best way to explain this part as I could find, x4 for example means 
hold that chord for 4 counts of 3 (1,2,3..1,2,3))
