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 

                                         CM7  Bm7

In the distance between us 

                                        Am7   Bm7  Am7

In the distance between us
