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
Maybe I don't need you, but I miss you anyway
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
