Intro: C Dm
C Dm
For you dear, I was born
C Dm
For you I was raised up
C Dm
For you I've lived and for you I will die
C Dm
For you I am dying now
F G
You were my mad little lover
F G
In a world where everybody fucks everybody else over
Dm G
You who are so far from me
Dm G
So far from me
Em F G
Way across some cold neurotic sea
C Dm
Far from me
C Dm
I would talk to you of all matter of things
C Dm
With a smile you would reply
C Dm
Then the sun would leave your pretty face
C Dm
And you'd retreat from the front of your eyes
F G
I keep hearing that you're doing best
F G
I hope your heart beats happy in your infant breast
Dm G
You are so far from me
Dm G
Far from me
C Dm
Far from me
C Dm
There is no knowledge but i know it
C Dm
There's nothing to learn from that vacant voice
C Dm
That sails to me across the line
C Dm
From the ridiculous to the sublime
F G
It's good to hear you're doing so well
F G
But really can't you find somebody else that you can ring and tell
Dm G
Did you ever care for me?
Dm G
Were you ever there for me?
C Dm
So far from me
C Dm
You told me you'd stick by me
C Dm
Through the thick and through the thin
C Dm
Those were your very words
C Dm
My fair-weather friend
F G
You were my brave-hearted lover
F G
At the first taste of trouble went running back to mother
Dm G
So far from me
Dm G
Far from me
Em F G
Suspended in your bleak and fishless sea
C F
Far from me
C F C
Far from me
