4/4| C C C | G | C Csus4 | G |
      C            Csus4
I'm a billion ages past you

  C               Csus4
A million years behind you too

  Bb                G
A thousand miles up in the air

  Bb                  G    G6  G7
A trillion times I've seen you there

C                    Csus4
Your hair is golden, mine is grey

C                     Csus4
You walk on grass, it turns to hay

Bb                          G
Your blood is blue and your eyes are red

Bb                       G      G6        G7
My body strains, but the nerves are dead
[Chorus 1]
        C               Bb
I can't reach you, I've strained my eyes

        C               Bb
I can't reach you, I've split my sides

        C      G/B    /  Am7 G6 /
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you

Fadd9 C/E  /  Gsus4 F/D     C
See,  feel or hear  from you
| C | G | C | G | The distances grow greater now You drink champagne and past me plough You fly your plane right over my head You're so alive and I'm nearly dead [Chorus 2]
        C               Bb
I can't reach you, with arms outstretched

        C            Bb
I can't reach you, I crane my neck

        C      G/B    /  Am7 G6 /
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you

Fadd9 C/E  /  Gsus4 F/D  /   C
See,  feel or hear  from you
| C | G | C | G | [Bridge]
Am                              G         (C/G)     (G)
Once I caught a glimpse of your unguarded, untouched heart

    Am                             G         C/G G
Our fingertips touched and then my mind tore us apart
[Repeat chorus 2] | C | G | 5 || D G /|A || A5 / / / | / / / / | / / / - | [Chorus 3]
        D               C
I can't reach you, with arms outstreched

        D            C
I can't reach you, I crane my neck

        D     A/C#   /  Bm7 A6  /
I can't reach tryin' to get on  you

Gadd9 D/F# /  Asus4/E G  D
See,  feel or hear  from you
