[Dm] [G] [D]
It's been hours, it's been [C] nights, but I don't [D] care too much
They're watered from the [F] fountains, [C] spitting out the mud
[D] They're roaring cats, cheering, [C] love baths and blushing bones
[D] And I just [C] stare and awe while [Am] losing time in [D] picking stones
They're running around in the cafe, [G] they're all being [D] stuffed dogs
They're collapsing every [F] day, [C] freezing the day, hello
[D] Through the smoke of dusty morning, [C] I'm listening to the raves yell
[D] Invading [Am] from my memory, those words I [D] learned so well
[F] Far away, [C] far away, far away
[F] You're so [C] far away from [Am] me, but I'll be [Dm] back one day
Sometimes though we sail [C] away across the [D] big old sea
[Dm] We thought if you was braver, [C] then better we will be
[D] The sun is always brighter [C] on the other side
[G] But I'd [Am] so well let my own committed [D] suicide
I remember when we [C] parted, the silence [D] by me
Lost in moonlight [C] in the scent of never-ending
[D] I promised I'd be writing, [C] and for you I will pray
[D] There was a [C] cloning in my [Am] love for the first time [D] I'd stray
[F] Far away, [C] far away, far [F] away
You're so [C] far away from [A] me, but [D] I'll be back one day
And now it's much easier, [C] my mind is [D] elsewhere
I'd have to think [F] about all this life [C] is worth fair
[Dm] While the breezy wind is blowing, [G] I'm [C] burning like a spark
[Dm] I'm the last one [Am] away, see the rainbow [Dm] in the dark
This night of world we've trapped to [G] hell, a separate [D] other day
And I'm only imagining [F] my unknown [C] hidden ways
[D] Many things to start now, [C] a swallowing potato pies
[D] I'm waiting [C] to be cracked for the [Am] last and second [D] time
Far [F] away, far away, [C] far [F] away
You're so [C] far away from [Am] me, but I'll be [D] back one day [F] Far away
[C] You're [F] so [C] far away from [Am] me, but I'll be [D] back one day
[Dm]
[F] Far away, [C] far away
[F] You're so [C] far [Em] away from me, but I'll be [D] back one day
[F] Far away, [C] far away
[F] You're so [C] far away from [Am] me, but I'll be [D] back one day
[F] Far away, [C] far away
[F] You're so [Am] far away from me, but I'll be [D] back one day.
[F] Far away, [C] far away.
[F] You're so [C] far away from [Am] me, but I'll be [D] back one day.
