A#
How many tears must we cry before learning
Things that we have they're
for real and we're losing

C#          C             C#
Can't get close enough to you,
               C        B   A#
'cause you're just too far away

Why do you believe that
we've got something coming
You took it all,
left me standing here with nothing
Can't get close enough to you, '
cause you're just too far away
Too far away

A#
In your world you must be dreaming,
if you think you can survive
Taking all and giving nothing that's a crime
What makes you something special,
what about me, I'm here too
You don't care what
I'm feeling and that's the truth

Can't get close enough to you,
'cause you're just too far away

A#
All I need is understanding
and the right to survive
Only you could see the warnings,
and pass them by
What makes you something special,
what about me, I'm here too
You don't care what
I'm feeling and that's the truth

Can't get close enough to you,
'cause you're just too far away
Too far away
Can't get close enough to you,
'cause you're just too far away

A#
How many tears must we cry before learning
Things that we had they're
for real and we're losing
Can't get close enough to you,
'cause you're just too far away
Too far away, too far away, too far away
