Intro: G5 - G5 - G5 - G5
(o ultimo G5 já emenda direto no verso)
G5 C5
The sky has lost its color
C5 G5
The sun has turned to gray
G5 E5
At least that’s how it feels to me
G5
Whenever you’re away
G5 C5
I crawl up in the corner
C5 G5
To watch the minutes pass
G5 E5
Each one brings me closer to
G5 D5
The time you’re coming back
(chorus)
G5
I can’t take the distance
G5
I can’t take the miles
C5 D5
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
G5
I can’t take the distance
G5
And I’m not ashamed
C5 D5
That with every breath I take I’m calling your name
G5
I can’t take the distance
G5 C5
I still believe my feelings
C5 G5
But sometimes I feel too much
G5 E5
I make believe you’re close to me
G5
But it ain’t close enough
D5
Not nearly close enough
(chorus)
G5
I can’t take the distance
G5
I can’t take the miles
C5 D5
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
G5
I can’t take the distance
G5
And I’m not ashamed
C5 D5
That with every breath I take I’m calling your name
E5
I’d breathe fire and I’d be free
C5 D5
To be by your side, I’d do anything
G5
I can’t take the distance
G5
I will go the distance
G5
I will go the miles
C5
That’s how much you mean to me
(chorus)
G5
I can’t take the distance
G5
I can’t take the miles
C5 D5
I can’t take the time until I next see you smile
G5
I can’t take the distance
G5
And I’m not ashamed
C5 D5
That with every breath I take I’m calling your name
G5
I can’t take the distance
