[Verse]
                         F#m7     A            
You were waiting outside ■    for me in the sun
E                               B                     
■ Laying down to soak it all in ■ before we had to run
F#m7              E               A                  E
■    I was always ten feet behind you from the start ■
                          B         E              
Didn't know you were gone ■ 'til we were in the car
A                        E               
■ Oh the glory of it all ■ was lost on me
A                                B        
■ 'til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you
                   A                          E            
And I would always be light years light years away from you
A                         B            
■ Light years light years away from you


[Chorus]
F#m7                                  A                  
■    I thought I saw your mother last weekend in the park
E                          B                  
■ It could've been anybody ■ it was after dark
F#m7                             A                
■    Everyone was lighting up in the shadows alone
E                                       B                          
■ You could've been right there next to me and I'd have never known
A                        E               
■ Oh the glory of it all ■ was lost on me
A                                B        
■ 'til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you
            Bsus4  A                          E            
And I would always be light years light years away from you
A                         Bsus4 B       
■ Light years light years away  from you
A                         E            
■ Light years light years away from you
A                         Bsus4        
■ Light years light years away from you
