F#  A#m D#m C#       F#       A#m      B     C#       F#
You are 18 year old girl who live in small city in Japan.
    A#m   D#m        C#
You heard me on the radio.
 F#       A#m    B         C#         F#
About one year ago and you wanted to know,
     A#m     D#m     C#
all about me and my hobbies.
F#  A#m      D#m         C#
My favorite food and my birthday

Chorus:
F#      A#m          D#m      C#
Why are you so far away from me?
F#      A#m                D#m        C#
I need help and you're way across the sea
B              F#      G#m
I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong
     F#    C#/F     D#m C#
Oh - I've got your letter
B      C#      F#
you've got my song

They don't make stationery
like this where I'm from
So fragile, so refined
So I sniff (So I sniff)
And I lick (And I lick)
Your envelope and fall
to little pieces every time
(Your envelope and fall to)
I wonder what clothes you wear to school
I wonder how you decorate your room
I wonder how you touch yourself
and curse myself for being across the sea

Chorus

D# D#maj7 Cm7     Gm7       G#           G#maj7
At 10 I shaved my head and tried to be a monk
D# D#maj7     Cm7   G7          G#           G#maj7
I thought the older women would like me if i did
D#  D#maj7 Cm       A#         G#               A#
You see mom, I'm a good little boy (good little boy)
D#   D#maj7   Cm     A#
It's all your fault, momma.
G#   Gm       Fm   A#
It's all your fault

Goddamn, this business is really lame
I gotta live on an island to find the juice
So you send (So you send)
Me your love (Me your love)
From all around the world
(From all around the world)
As if I could live on
Words and dreams and a million screams
Oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel

Chorus:
Why are you so far away from me?
Why are you so far away from me?
I could never touch you,
I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter, you've got my song
(I've got your letter)
I've got your letter, you've got my song
