Intro

Verse

over the sea and far away

 she's waiting like an iceberg

 waiting to change

 but she's cold inside

 she wants to be like the water

all the muscles tighten in her face

 buries her soul in one embrace

 they're one and the same

just like the water

Chorus

 the fire fades away

 most of every day

  [G/f#]

is full of tired excuses

 but it's too hard to say

 i wish it was simple

 but we give up easily

  [G/f#]

you're close enough to see that

you're the other side of the world to me

Verse

on comes the panic light

 holding on with fingers and feelings alike

 but the time has come

 to move along

Chorus

 the fire fades away

 most of every day

  [G/f#]

is full of tired excuses

 but it's too hard to say

 i wish it was simple

 but we give up easily

  [G/f#]

you're close enough to see that

you're the other side of the world to me

can you help me

can you let me go

and can you still love me

  [G/f#]

when you can't see me anymore
