Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

 They met on the dance floor, in the old high school gym

He fell like a rock, She kinda liked him

 And his heart beat like thunder, as they moved cross the floor

 But when the music was over, she slipped out of his arms

(Riff)

And out the door

Verse 2

 Yeah a man loves a woman, but he can't understand

 Why she's sad when she stares, at the ring on her hand

 Then she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall

 Drops a coin in the jukebox, not the phone on the wall

Chorus

So close, Yet so far away

So close, Yet so far away

 We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today

 We're so close, so close

(Riff)

Yet so far away

Verse 2

Some people think, if you really believe

That's all you need, to solve all the mysteries

 Well I know someone, who just heads for the sun

 She says, "I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young"

Chorus

So close, Yet so far away

So close, Yet so far away

 We believe in tomorrow, but we're stuck in today

 Baby we're so close, so close

(Riff)

So far away

Verse 3

 There's a restless look in your eye tonight

 There's a secret hurt in my heart

 And the dream that pulls us together girl

 Is a dream

 That's gonna tear us, tear us apart

Verse 4

 There's a restless look in your eye tonight

 Are you looking for some / way / out / of / here

 We gotta fight, to keep it together girl

 For the dream that keeps us

Chorus

So close, Yet so far away

So close, Yet so far away

 Now who would have thought girl, that we'd end up this way

 Livin' so close, so close

So far away
