[Verse 1]
A              E        A
I took a boat, I took a plane
                   D                Dsus4  D
Halfway around the world on a train
      A               E          A
New York to Orleans, Japan to Tibet
         D                  E         A
But the farther I go, the closer you get


[Chorus]
  N.C.                         D  Dsus4 D
And I can't get you out of my mi------ind
                      A                E        A
All these years to forget, all these miles and yet
       D                E         A
The farther I go, the closer you get


[Verse 2]
A                   E                A
I took some dreams, I kicked up some dust
                        D                Dsus4  D
I danged your name, I cried and I cussed
      A               E          A
I ran to the ends of the earth to forget
         D                  E         A
But the farther I go, the closer you get


[Chorus]
  N.C.                         D  Dsus4 D
And I can't get you out of my mi------ind
                      A                E        A
All these years to forget, all these miles and yet
       D                E         A
The farther I go, the closer you get


[Verse 3]
A                 E          A
I found a friend, I took her home
                          D                Dsus4  D
I took her upstairs, disconnected the phone
      A                     E          A
We got warmer and warmer, then blazing hot
         D                     E         A
But the farther we went, the closer you got


[Chorus]
  N.C.                    D       Dsus4 D
I can't even make love anymo--------o---re
                      A                E        A
All these years to forget, all these miles and yet
       D                E         A
The farther I go, the closer you get


  N.C.                         D  Dsus4 D
And I can't get you out of my mi------ind
                      A                E        A
All these years to forget, all these miles and yet
       D                E         A
The farther I go, the closer you get
       D                E         A
The farther I go, the closer you get
       D                E         A
The farther I go, the closer you get (to fade)
