[ Distance von John Hiatt ]


 



D            C         B

You are the beautiful lover

   G  Bb (or E7b5 Bb)

My Lover

D           C        B

  I am the distant shore

 Bb       D

  So far away

             C         B       Bb

There is so much to uncover

       A7       

Love's hiding

             C9

What is this distance for

              D     B  E  A7    D  B  E  G   

   What is it for





  D         C         B

Out of the dark I am falling

    G Bb

I'm fallin'

D        C         B

   Into your warm candle flame

 Bb

  So bright

D           C                    B         Bb

   A butterfly pinned to love's calling

       A7        

Love's calling

              C9

Why must this magic be named

            D       

 Must it be named





      B         E

We've filled the air

G          A7

With silent stares

    B           E

But still no one dares

       E7b5   Bb     

We are strangers

    B          G

The sad jealous praise

       E       G

As the symphony plays

    E         G        D       C   B  G  Bb

And we are the foolish arrangers

              D        C   B  G  Bb

The foolish arrangers





D            C         B

You are the beautiful lover

   G  Bb (or E7b5 Bb)

My Lover

D           C        B

  I am the distant shore

 Bb       D

  So far away

             C         B       Bb

There is so much to uncover

       A7       

Love's hiding

             C9

What is this distance for

              D     B  E  A7    D  B  E  G   

   What is it for
