Chorus:
                                      G
Tell me why it feels like there's a grand
 D/F#     Em7
canyon between us
 D
Tell me how you're feeling 'cause
  Am7     G        D
I can't stand the distance
              G
You know we started with love
        D/F#                Am7
And it still is enough to believe in us
                                      C    G    D
Tell me why it feels like there's a grand canyon

                  G                           D/F#
The stars don't shine bright if I'm not with you
             Em7
If we don't align right you know it's an issue
               Am7                  G
Come a little closer, we can start talkin'
             D
You can come over, you can sleep on me

     G
And lay it all on the floor
    Em7
The way we've done it before
     Am7                 G
The nights you let me inside
         D
Can you let me tonight?

Chorus

I can be patient, you can be honest
I can make space if that's how you want
Feels like I'm waiting on Halley's comet
Now we got space, babe, now we gon' cross it

The times I waited on you
The times we made it on through
The nights you let me inside
Come on, you know it's alright

Chorus - x2
