[D] [E7sus4]
wish you gave me a number
[G6] [D]

[A7sus4]
just to hear a voice.
Riff1 Dadd4 A G
i got a long way to go
Riff2 D
getting further away.
Riff3 D
[D] [E7sus4]
if i didn't know the difference,
[G6] [D]
living alone would probably be ok.
[A7sus4]
it wouldn't be lonely.
Riff1 Dadd4 A G
i got a long way to go
Riff2 D
getting further away.
Riff3 D
[F] [G] [Bb]
a lot of hours to occupy it was easy
[E] [F]
when i didn't know you yet,
[D#] [Bb] [A5] [Bb] [C] [C-9]
things i'd have to forget.
[F] [G]
but i better be quiet now,
[Bb] [E] [F]
i'm tired of wasting my breath
[D#] [Bb] [A5] [Bb] [C] [C-9]
carrying on, getting upset.
[D] [E7sus4]
maybe i have a problem,
[G6] [D]
but thats not what i wanted to say.
[A7sus4]
i prefer to say nothing.
Riff1 Dadd4 A G
i got a long way to go
Riff2 D
getting further away.
Riff3 D
(Verse chords for bridge)
[F] [G] [Bb]
had a dream as an army man with an order
[E] [F]
just to march in my place
[D#] [Bb] [A5] [Bb] [C] [C9]
but a dead enemy screams in my face
[F] [G]
but i better be quiet now,
[Bb] [E] [F]
i'm tired of wasting my breath
[D#] [Bb] [A5] [Bb] [C] [C9]
carrying on, not over it yet.
[D] [E7sus4]
wish i knew what you were doing.
[G6] [D]
why you want to do it this way.
[A7sus4]
so i can't go the distance,
Riff1 Dadd4 A G
i got a long way to go,
Riff2 D E
i'm getting further away.
Riff1 Dadd4 A A7sus4
i got a long way to go
Riff2 D
getting further away.

I can't take credit for any of this. All I did was clean it up and post it here. It
be helpful if you could tell me if anything's wrong with this.
Thanks.
