Distance
John Hiatt / Overcoats 1975

           /        /
You are the beautiful lover
   -/ (or -7b5/Bb)
My Lover
          /       /
  I am the distant shore
/       
  So far away
            /        /      /
There is so much to uncover
             /
Love's hiding
             
What is this distance for
/                  -  -        -  -  -  /
   What is it for

          /        /
Out of the dark I am falling
    -/
I^Òm fallin'
       /        /
   Into your warm candle flame
/
  So bright
          /                   /        /
   A butterfly pinned to love's calling
              /
Love's calling
              
Why must this magic be named
/           D      /
 Must it be named

      -         -
We've filled the air
-          
With silent stares
    -           -
But still no one dares
       -7b5/    /
We are strangers
    -          
The sad jealous praise
       -       -
As the symphony plays
    -         -              /  /  -/
And we are the foolish arrangers
                     /  /  -/
The foolish arrangers
