THE DISTANCE BETWEEN US
Intro
Em7 Dm7 CM7 Bm7
Em7 Dm7
When the floods came
CM7 Bm7
We closed our eyes as it rained over us
Em7 Dm7 CM7
We turned our backs to the ones who needed us
Bm7
Then the walls caved in
Em7 Dm7 CM7
And I don’t know how to feel in all of the chaos
Bm7
As it overwhelms me
Am7 Bm7
I should have listened to my mother
Am7 Bm7
And we all should have listened to each other
Am7
But now we’re too far gone
Bm7
We’re too far gone
CM7 Bm7
So tell me how are we getting over,
Am7 Bm7
As the script keeps growing older
CM7 Bm7
Tell me how are getting over,
Am7 Bm7
As the world keeps growing colder and colder
CM7 Bm7
Tell me how we’re getting over,
Am7 Bm7
The distance between us
Am7 Bm7
The distance between us
Verse 2
Em Dm CM7
I see so much misery in a world full of plenty
Bm7
And it’s left me feeling empty
Em7 Dm7
If there’s anybody watching
CM7
I guess this is our divine lesson
Bm7
Because they won’t hear our pleas
Em Dm CM7
After the reckoning the summer will bring
Bm7 Am7
Greater understanding
Am7 Bm7
I should have listened to my mother
Am7 Bm7
And we all should have listened to each other
Am7
But now we’re too far gone
Bm7
We’re too far gone
CM7 Bm7
So tell me how are we getting over,
Am7 Bm7
As the script keeps growing older
CM7 Bm7
Tell me how are getting over,
Am7 Bm7
As the world keeps growing colder and colder
CM7 Bm7
Tell me how we’re getting over,
Am7 Bm7
The distance between us
Am7 Bm7
The distance between us
Am7 Bm7
We’re all praying for
Greater understanding
Am7 Bm7
We’re gonna need
Am7 Bm7
Greater understanding

In the distance between us
Am7 Bm7 Am7
In the distance between us
