Across the Sea

G   Bm  Em D        G        Bm      C       D       G
You are 18 year old girl who live in small city in Japan.
    Bm    Em         D
You heard me on the radio.
 G        Bm     C          D         G
About one year ago and you wanted to know,
     Bm       Em     D
all about me and my hobbies.
G      Bm       Em         D
   My favorite food and my birthday


[Chorus]

G          Bm          Em       D
Why are you so far away from me?
G          Bm                  Em        D
I need help and you're way across the sea
C                G           Am
I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong
     G    D/F#     Em     D
Oh - I've got your letter
C      D       G
you've got my song

[Verse 2]

G          Bm   Em     D        G
They don't make stationery like this
          Bm        C
where I'm from - so fragile,
D     G
so refined
     Bm    Em    D
So I sniff and I lick
G        Bm       C              D            G
your envelope and fall to little pieces every time
  Bm          Em          D       G
I wonder what clothes you wear to school
  Bm             C        D    G
I wonder how you decorate your room
  Bm             Em        D
I wonder how you touch yourself
    G       Bm        C      D        G
and curse myself for being across the sea


[Chorus]

G       Bm          Em       D
Why are you so far away from me?
G       Bm                  Em        D
I need help and you're way across the sea
C             G           Am
I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong
G    D/F#     Em     D
I've got your letter
C      D      G
you've got my song

E  Emaj7 C#m7     G#m7      A            Amaj7
At 10 I shaved my head and tried to be a monk

Goddamn, this business is really lame
        Bm         C         D        G
I gotta live on an island to find the juice
       Bm   Em      D
So you send me your love
     G              Bm
from all around the world
        C       D     G         Bm           C       D
As if I could live on words and dreams and a million screams
    G     Bm     C       D       G
oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel.


[Bridge]

G       Bm         Am        Em    D
Why are you so far away from me?

Why are you so far away from me?
