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 matter 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
