You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you
               Gm             
And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here
Am      A#m      B
Sittin' home and thinkin', you say:

[Verse]
        E                                           
Distant lover (lover, lover, lover)
C#m                                          
Ooh, So many miles away
F#m                                          
Oh, how I long for you
B                                                                                              
Every night, and sometimes I yearn through the day
 
[Verse]
E                                                         
Distant lover (lover lover lover)
C#m                                                                                       
You should think about me, Say a prayer for me
F#m                                                                                         
Please, oh please baby, think about me sometime
B                                                            
Think about me, yeah, in misery
E                           
Oh, say it baby

[Bridge]
Am
As I reminisce our joyful summer together
Am
The promises we made of a daily letter
B
Then all of a sudden everything seemed to explode
B
Now I gaze out my window down that lonesome road

[Verse]
        E                                         
Distant lover (lover, lover, lover)
C#m
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel?
                             F#m
Didn't you know, sugar, that every moment
                      B                                                                     
That I spend with you I treasure it like it was (a) precious jewel
E                               
Oh baby (Lord, have mercy)

Something I wanna say: When your love took all of me with you
