C Csus4 I'm a billion ages past you C Csus4 A million years behind you too A# G A thousand miles up in the air A# G A trillion times I've seen you there Your hair is golden, mine is grey You walk on grass, it turns to hay Your blood is blue and your eyes are red My body strains, but the nerves are dead Chorus: C A# I can't reach you, I've strained my eyes C A# I can't reach you, I've split my sides C G/B Am7 G6 I can't reach, tryin' to get on you F C/E Gsus4 F/D C See, feel or hear from you The distances grow greater now You drink champagne and past me plough You fly your plane right over my head You're so alive and I'm nearly dead Chorus: I can't reach you, with arms outstretched I can't reach you, I crane my neck I can't reach, tryin' to get on you See, feel or hear from you Am G Once I caught a glimpse of your unguarded, untouched heart Am Our fingertips touched and then G my mind tore us apart Chorus: I can't reach you, with arms outstretched I can't reach you, I crane my neck I can't reach, tryin' to get on you See, feel or hear from you I can't reach you, with arms outstreched I can't reach you, I crane my neck I can't reach tryin' to get on you See, feel or hear from you You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  A#  Am7  C  Csus4  D  E  F  G  Gsus4  G6  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
