[Verse 1]
                                          Am
You are my secret, you're my inspiration
                                          F
You're my journey, you're my destination

You have always
                         G        F  C  D7  C
Been so close and yet so far away


[Verse 2]
                                                 Am
You're my best friend, you're my total stranger
                                              F
You're my lifeline, you're my hint of danger
                 D7
You have always
                         G        F  C  Am F Bb
Been so close and yet so far away


[Bridge]
              F
In my hour of weakness
  C                Dm          Dm7
I called on you to comfort me
                          F    Am
But you could only set me free____

[Verse 3]
                                            Am
You're my memories, you're my rock of ages
                                         F
You're my future, you're my empty pages
                 D7
You have always
                         G    
Been so close and yet so far away
         C   Ab   Bb   G   C
Far away__
