So Far

L/M: Kevin Simmons

The (F) stars rest so (C) high

But I would climb the (Bb)sky

Just to see the (C) stars

That have been set in your (F) eyes (C)

Although your eyes seem so far

They have never seemed so hard

To reach as now they are

I could catch a star

I should catch a star

But (F) even though we’re sat so (Bb)near

But (F) even though I hold you (Bb) dear

We are (F) so far (C) apart

And it’s (Am) (Dm) (C) still so far to your (F) heart (C)

A rose can grow so quick

But through the mud I’d slip

Just to see the rose

That has colored your lips

Although your lips have never seemed so close

I had never seen their shows

Of distance, but so it goes

I could pluck a rose

But even though we’re sat so near

But even though I hold you dear

We are so far apart

And it’s still so far to your heart

-music-

And (C) now the (Bb) distance grows (Am) further each (Gm) year

We are (F) so far (C) apart

I’ve been (Bb) shut out in the (C) dark

And (F) I cannot (C) reach (Bb) (Am) (Gm)

We are (F) so far (C) apart

(Bb) I cannot (C) reach (Am) (Dm) (C) cannot reach your (F) heart
