Am Em
I tried to leave it all behind me
Dm Em
But I woke up and there, they were beside me
Am Em
And I don't believe it but I guess it's true

Some feelings, they can travel too

Oh there it is again, sitting on my chest

You're always on my mind

And I never minded being on my own
F
Then something broke in me and I wanted to go home
C
To be where you are
G F
But even closer to you, you seem so very far
Dm
And now I'm reaching out with every note I sing
Am G
And I hope it gets to you on some Pacific wind
F
Wraps itself around you and whispers in your ear
G G/G#
Tells you that I miss you and I wish that you were here
