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

[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
