                             A
Feels like I'm standing in China
                  D
While you're in L.A
                   F#m
And I'm sending a sign up
                 E
And hoping you stay

    A
I know you
            C#m              D
There's no need to put your walls up
Bm
I will never hurt you
A              C#m
It's true, I'm falling through
       D
Don't hide it
Bm
I will not desert you
F#m                 A
What would I do without you?
       D
Do without you

Chorus:
E                            A
Feels like I'm standing in China
                  D
While you're in L.A
                   F#m
And I'm sending a sign up
                 E
And hoping you stay
Feels like I'm standing in China
So far away
Come closer to me
Come closer to me
                D
Cause this can work if you let it,
                     F#m  E
work if you let it ...Oh..Oh
                D
Cause this can work if you let it,
                     F#m  E
work if you let it ...Oh..Oh

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder
But I don't think I can take it
You're right here
Lets not fear any longer
I believe we can make it
What would I do without you?
Do without you

Chorus

Bm              F#m
Break down your wall
                     E
We can still have it all
       D
Don't want to fall apart
Bm               F#m
I know there's a way
                E
To get you to stay

Chorus

Feels like I'm standing in China...aaaa
