Tom: G
C Am Em 2x
[Verse 1]
C
I saw you through a telescope
Am Em
A million miles away in the night
C
A partial glimpse of subtleties
Am Em
Far beyond the view of naked eyes
C Am Em 2x
(vocalizing)
C
I mapped the course of shooting stars
Am Em
Sent from you as hints of who you are
C Am Em
I lost sight of you in the black, caught up searching For the traits you lack
D Am Em
But the distance is the lesser crime done
[Pre-Chorus]
G
I know this hurts
It's not the first
But it is the worst
Am
And you deserve
Em
More than me
I hope you see
Love is lost
D
And I can't be
G
The saving light
Of your life
In the dark
Am
I must hide
Em
To keep you safe
Far from hate
I hope you know
[Chorus]
D G Am
You deserve better, better
C Em
You deserve, you deserve better
G Am
You deserve better, better
C Em
You deserve, you deserve better
D C
Than me
C Am Em 2x
(vocalizing)
[Verse 2]
C
What I'm searching for I do not know
Am Em
Maybe I can't comprehend your light
C
Oh my head, round and round it goes
Am Em
Looking back I wish we took our time
C
But it's not a waste
Am
This game we play
Em
It's all for what we learn
C
And if we choose to break
Am
Or hesitate
Em
Take it for what it's worth
D Am Em
But the distance is the lesser crime done
[Pre-Chorus]
G
I know this hurts
It's not the first
But it is the worst
Am
And you deserve
Em
More than me
I hope you see
Love is lost
D
And I can't be
G
The saving light
Of your life
In the dark
Am
I must hide
Em
To keep you safe
Far from hate
I hope you know
[Chorus]
D G Am
You deserve better, better
C Em
You deserve, you deserve better
G Am
You deserve better, better
C Em
You deserve, you deserve better
D C
Than me
C Am Em D 4x
