D                       A
Remain close but stay away

Keep your distance but
   D
Be careful how far you stray
                             F#m E
Don't forget where you were born
                  D
Don't forget this moment


                        A
Don't you understand, sweetheart?

That we love you
             D
But hate the ugly sin that you are
                             F#m E
It may be best that you just leave

Get some help
    D
And find some symphathy


                       A
Seven years before the drought

You looked around and said
 D
"This is what prosperity's about"
                              F#m E
Pointing fingers 'til they're sore
                        D  
Wasting time and waging war


                            A
And there's something kinda wrong

You're forming arguments
     D
With lines from every old time gospel song
                        F#m E
You heard when you were young
                     D  
You just can't forget

Remain close but stay away

Keep your distance but
   D
Be careful how far you stray
                             F#m E
Don't forget where you were born
                  D
Don't forget this moment


                            A
And the closest thing to God

Is being next to you
D
In this rusted car
                        F#m E
And I'm never going back
                        D
And I won't forget this moment
