4/4| C C C | G | C Csus4 | G |
C Csus4
I'm a billion ages past you
C Csus4
A million years behind you too
Bb G
A thousand miles up in the air
Bb G G6 G7
A trillion times I've seen you there
C Csus4
Your hair is golden, mine is grey
C Csus4
You walk on grass, it turns to hay
Bb G
Your blood is blue and your eyes are red
Bb G G6 G7
My body strains, but the nerves are dead
[Chorus 1]
C Bb
I can't reach you, I've strained my eyes
C Bb
I can't reach you, I've split my sides
C G/B / Am7 G6 /
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you
Fadd9 C/E / Gsus4 F/D C
See, feel or hear from you
| C | G | C | G |
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]
C Bb
I can't reach you, with arms outstretched
C Bb
I can't reach you, I crane my neck
C G/B / Am7 G6 /
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you
Fadd9 C/E / Gsus4 F/D / C
See, feel or hear from you
| C | G | C | G |
[Bridge]
Am G (C/G) (G)
Once I caught a glimpse of your unguarded, untouched heart
Am G C/G G
Our fingertips touched and then my mind tore us apart
[Repeat chorus 2]

See, feel or hear from you
