D                  E7sus4
wish you gave me a number

G6                    D
wish i could call you today,

               A7sus4
just to hear a voice.

Dadd4  A      G
i got a long way to go

Riff2            D
getting further away.

D                    E7sus4
if i didn't know the difference,

G6                             D
living alone would probably be ok.

               A7sus4
it wouldn't be lonely.

Dadd4  A      G
i got a long way to go

           D
getting further away.

F                 G             Bb
a lot of hours to occupy it was easy

              E        F
when i didn't know you yet,

D#         Bb   A5 Bb      C  C-9
things i'd have to forget.

F               G
but i better be quiet now,

    Bb       E          F
i'm tired of wasting my breath

D#       Bb  A5      Bb      C  C-9
carrying on, getting upset.

D              E7sus4
maybe i have a problem,

    G6                         D
but thats not what i wanted to say.

                A7sus4
i prefer to say nothing.

Dadd4  A      G
i got a long way to go

           D
getting further away.

            D
* (Verse chords for bridge)

F                 G                Bb
had a dream as an army man with an order

        E           F
just to march in my place

      D#      Bb A5            Bb  C  C9
but a dead enemy screams in my face

F               G
but i better be quiet now,

    Bb       E          F
i'm tired of wasting my breath

D#       Bb      A5      Bb  C  C9
carrying on, not over it yet.

D                         E7sus4
wish i knew what you were doing.

G6                         D
why you want to do it this way.

                  A7sus4
so i can't go the distance,

Dadd4  A      G
i got a long way to go,

D     E
i'm getting further away.

Dadd4  A      A7sus4
i got a long way to go

D
getting further away.
