Intro: G
verse 1:
Am A B#
You can only push away at me for so long
C G Riff
before I get the clue
G Am A B#
I only wonder why we waited
C G Riff
if just to say adieu
G Am A B#
Your letters used to end love always
C G Riff
but now just always will do
G Am A B#
I guess the answer to my question
C G Riff
distance is stronger than youth
Am C D Em C#m7
You kept us together so well
Am C D Em C#m7
but now that I try it's farewell
Am C D Em C#m7
I kept us apart for so long
Am C D Em C#m7
but I still won't say that was wrong
C F G Riff
I still won't say that was wrong
verse 2:
G Am A B#
We had a chance to be the first ones
C G Riff
to survive miles apart
G Am A B#
but now that distance is ending
C G Riff
you'd rather stay apart
G Am A B#
I still love you in my own way
C G Riff
although I don't think I should
G Am A B#
I'll put a wall between us
C G Riff
if that will make it good
Am C D Em C#m7
You kept us together so well
Am C D Em C#m7
but now that I try it's farewell
Am C D Em C#m7
I kept us apart for so long
Am C D Em C#m7
but I still won't say that was wrong
C F G Riff
I still won't say that was wrong
