{4/4}| | | | |


I m a billion ages past you

A million years behind you too

A thousand miles up in the air

A trillion times I ve seen you there


Your hair is golden, mine is grey

You walk on grass, it turns to hay

Your blood is blue and your eyes are red

My body strains, but the nerves are dead

{Chorus 1}

I can t reach you, I ve strained my eyes

I can t reach you, I ve split my sides
/ /
I can t reach, tryin to get on you
/
See, feel or hear from you

| | | | |

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}

I can t reach you, with arms outstretched

I can t reach you, I crane my neck
/ /
I can t reach, tryin to get on you
/ /
See, feel or hear from you

| | | | |

{Bridge}
() ()
Once I caught a glimpse of your unguarded, untouched heart

Our fingertips touched and then my mind tore us apart

{Repeat Chorus 2}

{Chorus 3}

I can t reach you, with arms outstreched

I can t reach you, I crane my neck
/ /
I can t reach tryin to get on you
/
See, feel or hear from you
