intro: C Dm
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

               Dm                      G
You who are so far from me

Dm                      G
So far from me

Em              F             G
Way across some cold neurotic sea

C               Dm
Far from me

C                          Dm
I would talk to you of all manner 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
You are so far from me

Dm                      G
Far from me

C                      Dm
Far from me

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

C                  Dm
You told me you'd stick by me

C                                      Dm
Through the thick and through the thin

C                      Dm
Those were your very words

                      C           Dm
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

   Dm            G
So far from me

Dm               G
Far from me

Em                F                  G
Suspended in your bleak and fishless sea

C            F
Far from me

C            F         C
Far from me
