      F#                D#m
In a run down bed and breakfast
    F#         D#m              F#  D#m F  D#m
A room with a view, across the river
            F#               D#m
I tried to loose the claustrophobia
F#            D#m   F# D#m  F#  D#m
Opened up and find Utopia, Utopia
B                 A#m
There's no more denying
    B            C#
As my mind goes flying

Chorus:
                F#  D#m
10 light years away
    B      G#m
To save my soul
                F#  D#m
10 light years away
     B       G#m
To change it all
                F#  D#m
Whatever it may take
          B   G#m
I gotta try again
           B  G#m       C#
Girl it's time to start over
                 F#  D#m
10 light years away

I'd been watching the reflection
Of a bamboo in the shade, when I saw her
A very hot day in Havana
In a midnight blue lagoon
Sunshine get exciting
I knew she was hiding

Chorus:
10 light years away so take me home
10 light years away to change it all
Help me find today It's been way too long
Girl it's time to start over
10 light years away

There's no more denying
As my mind goes flying

Chorus - x2
