Chords

3/4 beat [Verse 1]
E                       Dbm Gb7
- Wish you gave me your number

 C                       E
Wish I could call you today

                Gbm
Just to hear a voice

         A
I got a long way to go

             B        E
I'm getting further away
[Verse 2]
                     Dbm   Gb7
If I didn't know the difference

 C                               E
Living alone would probably be okay

               Gbm
It wouldn't be lonely

         A
I got a long way to go

             B        E
I'm getting further away
[Chorus]
G                   A
- A lot of hours to occupy

       C            D               G
It was easy when I didn't know you yet

  F         Em  B      C D
Things I'd have to forge-et

G                  A
- But I better be quiet now

     C        D           G
I'm tired of wasting my breath

 F       Em      B         C D   A
Carrying on and getting upse-et
[Verse 3]
E                Dbm Gb7
- Maybe I have a problem

     C                           E
But that's not what I wanted to say

                  Gbm
I'd prefer to say nothing

         A
I got a long way to go

             B        E
I'm getting further away

G                   A
- Had a dream as an army man

        C              D           G
With an order just to march in my place

         F      Em   B            C D
While a dead enemy screams in my fa-ace

G                  A
- But I better be quiet now

     C        D           G
I'm tired of wasting my breath

 F       Em      B        C D   A
Carrying on, not over it ye-et
[Verse 4]
E                         Dbm Gb7
- Wish I knew what you're do--ing

     C              A           E
And why you want to do it this way

                  Gbm
So I can't go the distance

         A
I got a long way to go

             B        E
I'm getting further away
[Outro]
         A
I got a long way to go

             B        E
I'm getting further away.
