Verse 1:

G                                  Am      [A B#]
  You can only push away at me for so long
C                G    Riff
before I get the clue
G                   Am     [A B#]
I only wonder why we waited
C               G    Riff
if just to say adieu

G                            Am     [A B#]
Your letters used to end love always
C                       G  Riff
but now just always will do
G                       Am        [A B#]
I guess the answer to my question
C                         G    Riff  G
distance is stronger than youth


Chorus 1:

   Am          C        Em   C#m7b5
You kept us together so well
   Am          C            Em   C#m7b5
but now that I try it's farewell
  Am          C        Em   C#m7b5
I kept us apart for so long
   Am             C            Em    C#m7b5
but I still won't say that was wrong
        C         F         G     Riff
I still won't say  that was wrong



Verse 2:
G                         Am        [A B#]
We had a chance to be the first ones
C                 G   Riff
to survive miles apart
G                        Am    [A B#]
but now that distance is ending
C                  G   Riff
you'd rather stay apart


G                        Am   [A B#]
I still love you in my own way
C                        G      Riff
although I don't think I should
G                  Am     [A B#]
I'll put a wall between us
C                    G    Riff  G
if that will make it good


Chorus 2:

   Am          C        Em   C#m7b5
You kept us together so well
   Am          C            Em   C#m7b5
but now that I try it's farewell
  Am          C        Em   C#m7b5
I kept us apart for so long
   Am             C            Em    C#m7b5
but I still won't say that was wrong
        C         F         G     
I still won't say  that was wrong

D9            C*              G                G  Am7*  Bm7*
Maybe I don't need you, but I miss you anyway
Em7                  Bm                     C*          G  Am7* Bm7*
I guess we never got around to taking pictures that day
   Gmaj7   Em7                      Bm7*
It seems a shame there's nothing to hold to, we never got our
B7
fair shake
          Am            C              G Am7* Bm7*
cause the long distance   kept us away
