[Gm]
[F] [E]
[A] [Dm]
You may recognize this theme from my Trouble Man album.
[G]
[Dm] It's one of my favorite themes.
I'm in half [Gm]-jeans, I thought it was very pretty.
[Dm] [E]
[F#] We're going to [D#] [Dm]
do a thing now that we hope you enjoy.
[G]
[Dm] Some people told me, you [D#] know, when you're in love [A]
and your lover leaves you [D#] and you've got nobody, a lonely house.
I'm over you.
[A]
It's [A#] a lovely thing.
[G#m] It's like [C#m] [G#m] Distant love.
Love.
[C#m]
Woo.
So many miles to go.
[E] [C#m] Woo.
[F#m] Woo.
[G#m] [A] Woo.
How I long for you.
[E] Every [F#m] night.
[E] [A] [G#m]
And sometimes I let [E] you [A] [G#m]
in.
[C#m]
You should think about me.
Say a prayer for me.
Please, [F#m]
baby.
Think about me sometimes.
[A]
Think about me.
[B]
Heaven is a heaven.
[F#m] [E]
[B] Oh, say it, baby.
[Em]
Baby.
I'm a listener.
[Am]
You are joy.
Summer together.
[Em] The [Am] promises we made, baby.
Little hands up.
[F#m]
[B] Then [A] all of a sudden.
[F#m] Everything seemed to [A] explode.
Now I gaze out my window.
[B] Sugar.
Love.
A [G#m] long summer.
Woo.
[E] Distant lover.
[A]
[E]
[C#m] You treat my heart so mean and cruel.
Didn't you know [F#m] that it's evil?
Spent with you.
How treasured it is.
Like a [G#m] precious jewel.
[E]
Oh, baby.
Love happens.
[Am]
[D] And [C] you won't leave.
[G]
[A] [E]
[A]
[E] Please.
[B] Wait.
[E]
Something I won't need.
When you're [C#m] leaving.
Do you want to help me?
[F#m] Please.
Come [E]
[B] [E]
back.
