Start Jamming...
It was [G] during one of those weekends that I [A] wrote So Far Away completely on my own.
I had Charlie in mind personally [D] and James in mind musically.
It [A] was his voice [G] I heard in my head.
So [D] far away
[A] Doesn't anybody [D] stay in one [G] place anymore
[Em] It would be [G] so fine to see [D] your face at my door
[G] Doesn't help [Em] to know you're [D] just time [Bm] away
[A] Long ago [Bm] I reached for you [G] and there you stood
[Em] Holding you again could only [D] do me good
[G] How I wish [Em] I could but you're [D] so far away
[Bm] One more song [F#m] about moving [G] along the highway
Can't [Em] say [G] much of anything [D] that's new
[F#m] If I could only work this [Em] life out my way
[A] I'd rather [Bm] spend it [Em] being close to you
But [D] you're so [Bm] far away
[D] Doesn't anybody [Bm] stay in [G] one place anymore
[Em] It would be [G] so fine to see [D] your face at my door
[G] Doesn't help [Em] to know you're [D] so far away
[A] Yeah, [D] you're [G] far away
[Em] [G] Traveling [F#m] around sure gets me [G] down and lonely
[Em] Nothing else to do but [D] close my mind
[F#m] I sure hope the road don't come [Em] to own me
[G] There's so many [Bm] dreams [Em] I've yet to find
[G] But you're [D] so far away
[A] Doesn't anybody [D] stay in [G] one place anymore
It [Em] would be so [G] fine to see [D] your face at my door
[G] And it doesn't help to know [D] you're so far away
[A] Yeah, [D] you're [G] so far away
[G] Yeah, you're [D] so far away
[G] [A] [D]
