E                        B
Here I am again in this mean old town
                    E
And you're so far away from me
                            B
And where are you when the sun goes down
                E
You're so far away from me

Chorus:
A       C#m        B
So far away from me
          E
So far I just can't see
A       C#m        B
So far away from me
           A             E
You're so far away from me

I'm tired of being in love and being all alone
When you're so far away from me
I'm tired of making out on the telephone
Cause you're so far away from me

Chorus

And I get so tired when I have to explain
When you're so far away from me
See, you've been in the sun, and I've been in the rain
And you're so far away from me

Chorus
