C                                                Am
As you'd sleep I'd think my heart would break in two
C                                               Am
I'd kiss your cheek I'd stop myself from waking you
Am                      Em
But in the dark you'd speak my name
Em                              Am              C      G
You'd say baby what's wrong ?
C                                              Am
Oh ? Here I am baby I'm coming back for more
C                                                  Am
I'm like a wave that's got to roll into the shore
Am                     Em                                                        Am                        C     G
Yes and if my love's in vain how come my love is so strong ?

      G           Am      G     F
        if i been hard on you   i never chose to be 
      G         Am        G   F    G7

C                                                       Am
Now you and me go parallel together and apart
C                                                                                  Am
And you keep your perfect distance and it's tearing at my heart
Am           Em
Did you never feel the distance
Em                                       Am
You never tried to cross no line

C                                                                 Am
'Cause it's another dirty river and another dirty scar
C                                                                            Am
And I don't know who's kissing you and I don't know where you are
Am        Em
So far from home 
                                 Am                         C      G
