Distance
John Hiatt / Overcoats 1975
/ /
You are the beautiful lover
(or -7b5/)
My Lover
/ /
I am the distant shore
/
So far away
/ / /
There is so much to uncover
/
Love's hiding
What is this distance for
/ [D] [B-] [E-] [A7] [D] [B-] [E-] [G-] /
What is it for
/ /
Out of the dark I am falling
I^Тm fallin'
/ /
Into your warm candle flame
/
So bright
/ / /
butterfly pinned to love's calling
/
Love's calling
Why must this magic be named
/ /
Must it be named
[B-] [E-]
We've filled the air
[G-] [A7]
With silent stares
[B-] [E-]
But still no one dares
[E]-7b5/[Bb] /
We are strangers
[B-] [G]
The sad jealous praise
[E-] [G-]
As the symphony plays
/ /
And we are the foolish arrangers
/ /
The foolish arrangers
REPEAT VERSE ONE
