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


CHORUS:

G  355433    C  x35553

N.C.         | Dm         | G | Dm         | G |
You who are so far from me,  so far from me
Em              F             G
Way across some cold neurotic sea
C          | Dm |
Far from me

Dm x57765    G 355433

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 | Dm         | G |
You are so far from me,     far from me
C          | Dm |
Far from me

Dm x57765    G 355433

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

Dm x57765    G 355433

C                         Dm
  You told me you'd stick by me
C                                       | Dm |
  Through the thick and through the thin
C                      Dm        G          | C |
  Those were your very words, 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


CHORUS:
Chords:
Dm x57765    C  x35553
G  355433    F  133211
Em 022000

   Dm         | G | Dm         | G |
So far from me,     far from me

   Em             F                  G
Suspended in your bleak and fishless sea
C           | F | C          | F |
Far from me,      Far from me 

[end on C]
