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
