[Intro]
C   Dm
[Verse]
C                      Dm 
For you dear, I was born 
C                    Dm 
For you I was raised up 
C                          Dm 
For you I've lived and for you I will die 
                   C               Dm 
For you I am dying now
[Chorus]
F                      G 
You were my mad little lover 
     F                                  G 
In a world where everybody fucks everybody else over 
               Dm                      G 
You who are so far from me 
Dm                      G 
So far from me 
Em              F             G 
Way across some cold neurotic sea 
C               Dm 
Far from me
[Verse]
C                          Dm 
I would talk to you of all matter of things 
C                          Dm 
With a smile you would reply 
C                          Dm 
Then the sun would leave your pretty face 
                                         C         Dm 
And you'd retreat from the front of your eyes
[Chorus]
F                          G 
I keep hearing that you're doing best 
F                             G 
I hope your heart beats happy in your infant breast 
           Dm                      G 
You are so far from me 
Dm                      G 
Far from me 
C                      Dm 
Far from me
[Verse]
C                           Dm 
There is no knowledge but i know it 
C                                     Dm 
There's nothing to learn from that vacant voice 
C                   Dm 
That sails to me across the line 
                              C           Dm 
From the ridiculous to the sublime
[Chorus]
F                                 G 
It's good to hear you're doing so well 
           F                                 G 
But really can't you find somebody else that you can ring and tell 
             Dm               G 
Did you ever care for me? 
              Dm              G 
Were you ever there for me? 
   C                          Dm 
So far from me
[Verse]
C                  Dm 
You told me you'd stick by me 
C                                      Dm 
Through the thick and through the thin 
C                      Dm 
Those were your very words 
                      C           Dm 
My fair-weather friend
[Chorus]
F                         G 
You were my brave-hearted lover 
       F                           G 
At the first taste of trouble went running back to mother 
   Dm            G 
So far from me 
Dm               G 
Far from me 
Em                F                  G 
Suspended in your bleak and fishless sea 
C            F 
Far from me 
C            F         C 
Far from me
