Simply Red

Tom: G

Intro: Em Am Em Am

     Em
This land is real, real as the next man
Am
this land is there for all to see
       Em
youre standing there so cold and calm
    Am
you stand so close to me!...
    D            C
And you out there can keep away
        C                Em
theres nothing owed to you:
Em                               Am                   Em Am
all I want is to lose myself and stay so close to you.
Em                                            Am
The river is cruel its pipes are sprayed with long forgotten names
Em                                     Am
big boys now with kids whose lives will never feel the same.
   D                  C
If you out there dont get what I say, theres nothing owed
   Em
to you,
Em                                Am                  Em  Am
to feel that way is born inside no matter what you do.
  Am
I wonder how my fortune fell
     Em           Bm
when everything began to melt
   Am
the case I had for wasting that
     Em
that never came
  Bm          Am C   Em
I want to walk away again!!
Am C   Em
Away again!!
Am C   Em
Away again!! Em C D Em ( INSTRUMENTAL  REPETE 6x ) Em  Am  Em  Am
Em                         Am
There to wonder how those things will never be
Em                               Am
searching for that grand illusion fools have called the key.
   D                  C              C
If you dont care just keep away, how can I give hope to

you?
Em                               Am
Nearer now are both our futures, me, our hearts and you
        Em                               Am
and yet all I want is to lose myself and stay so close to
you.
Em            Am      D        Em   Am   Em
All I want is stay so close to you!...
