[A] [F#m]
[E]
[B]
[F#m] You were waiting outside for [A] me When the sun [F#m]
[E] laying down to soak it all [B] in
Before we had to run [F#m] I [F#] was always ten feet [A] behind you
From the start, [E] didn't know you were [B]
gone Till we were in the car
[A] Oh the glory [F#m] of it all [E] was lost on me [A] Till I saw how hard it'd be to [B] reach you
And I would always [A] be light years, [F#m] light years [E] away from you
[A] Light years, [F#m] light years [B] away from you
I
[F#m] thought I saw your mother last [A] weekend in the park
[E] It could have been anybody, [B] it was after dark [F#m] Everyone was lighting up in [A] the shadows [F#m] alone
[E] You could have been right there next to [B] me And I'd have never known
[A] Oh the glory [F#m] of it all [E] was lost on me [A] Till I saw how hard it'd be to [B] reach you
And I would always [A] be light years, light [E] years away from you
[A] Light years, light [E] years away [B] from you
[A] Light years, light years [E] away from you
[A] Light years, light years [B] away from you
