The Distance

C 
The sky has lost it's color  
                       G 
The sun has turned to grey  
                        Em 
At least that's how it feels to me  
                 Dsus D 
Whenever you're away  
                    C7 
I crawl up in the corner  
                        G 
As I watch the minutes pass  
                     Em 
Each one brings me closer to  
                         Dsus 
The time when you'll be back  
                D 
You're coming back  

                    G 
I can't take the distance  
                   D 
I can't take the miles  
                  Em 
I can't take the time 
                C              D  
Until the next time I see you smile  
I can't take the distance  
And I'm not ashamed  
That I can't take a breath without saying your name  
I can brave a hurricane  
And still be standing tall when all the dust has settled down  
But I can't take the distance  

I still believe in feelings  
But sometimes I feel too much  
I make believe you're close to me  
But it ain't close enough  
Not nearly close enough
