  Dmaj9    D6   Dmaj9            D6         Gmaj7        G6
So far a - way, doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?
Em7            G/A              Dmaj7  G/D Dmaj7
It would be so fine to see your face at my door,
   Gmaj7   F#m7    Em7   G/A        Dmaj9          D6
It doesn't help to know you're just...    time a - way,
Dmaj9         D6                Gmaj7            G6
Long ago I reached for you and...     there you stood,
  Em7           G/A            Dmaj7 G/D  Dmaj7
Holding you a - gain could only do    me  good,
Gmaj7  F#m7    Em7        G/A      Dmaj9         D6   Dmaj9   D  A/C#
 How I wish I could, but you're so...    far a - way! | /  /  /   / |


Bm                    A6               G     D/F#
One more song about moving along the highway,
Em7                 G/A           Dmaj7  
Can't say much of anything that's new,
  F#m           F#m7               Em7 
If I could only work this life out---- my way,
     G/A         Bm        Em7          G/A
I'd rather spend it being close to you!
             Dmaj9    D6   Dmaj9            D6         Gmaj7        G6
But you're so far a - way, doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?
Em7            G/A              Dmaj7  G/D Dmaj7
It would be so fine to see your face at my door,
   Gmaj7   F#m7    Em7   G/A      Dmaj9          D6
It doesn't help to know you're so...    far a - way,
Dmaj9         D6            Gmaj7         G6     Em7   G/A
      Yeah - eah, you're so...    far a - way!  | /  /  /  / |
                                                  ^  ^  ^

  G/A                  A6               G/A
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely,
  Em7               G/A              Dmaj7
Nothing else to do,     but close my mind,
  F#m7                             Em7  
I sure hope the road don't come to... own me,
       G/A        Bm        Em7               G/A
There's so many dreams I've yet to find------!


              Dmaj9       D6   Dmaj9            D6         Gmaj7        G6
But you're so...  far a - way, doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?
            Em7    G/A              Dmaj7  G/D Dmaj7
It would be...  so fine to see your face at my door,
       Gmaj7   F#m7    Em7   G/A      Dmaj9          D6
And it doesn't help to know you're so...    far a - way,
Dmaj9        D6              Gmaj7         G6     
      Yeah - eah, you're so...     far a - way!   
Em7     G/A            Dmaj9      D6     Dmaj9    D6
    Hey,     you're so...    far----- a - way!
