G9 C9
The sky has lost its color
C9 G
The sun has turned to gray
G Em
At least that’s how it feels to me
G
Whenever you’re away
G C9
I crawl up in the corner
C9 G
To watch the minutes pass
G Em
Each one brings me closer to
G D9/F#
The time you’re coming back
(chorus)
G
I can’t take the distance
G
I can’t take the miles
C9 D9/F#
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
G
I can’t take the distance
G
And I’m not ashamed
C9 D9/F#
That with every breath I take I’m calling your name
G
I can’t take the distance
G C9
I still believe my feelings
C9 G
But sometimes I feel too much
G Em
I make believe you’re close to me
G
But it ain’t close enough
D9/F#
Not nearly close enough
(chorus)
G
I can’t take the distance
G
I can’t take the miles
C9 D9/F#
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
G
I can’t take the distance
G
And I’m not ashamed
C9 D9/F#
That with every breath I take I’m calling your name
Em
I’d breathe fire and I’d be free
C9 D9/F#
To be by your side, I’d do anything
G
I can’t take the distance
G
I will go the distance
G
I will go the miles
C9
That’s how much you mean to me
(chorus)
G
I can’t take the distance
G
I can’t take the miles
C9 D9/F#
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
G
I can’t take the distance
G
And I’m not ashamed
C9 D9/F#
That with every breath I take I’m calling your name
G
I can’t take the distance
