Distance

John Hiatt / Overcoats 1975

D           /C        /B

You are the beautiful lover

   G-/Bb (or E-7b5/Bb)

My Lover

D          /C       /B

  I am the distant shore

/Bb       D

  So far away

            /C        /B      /Bb

There is so much to uncover

       A7      /

Love's hiding

             C9

What is this distance for

/             D     B-  E-  A7    D  B-  E-  G-  /

   What is it for

  D        /C        /B

Out of the dark I am falling

    G-/Bb

I^?m fallin'

D       /C        /B

   Into your warm candle flame

/Bb

  So bright

D          /C                   /B        /Bb

   A butterfly pinned to love's calling

       A7       /

Love's calling

              C9

Why must this magic be named

/           D      /

Must it be named

      B-         E-

We've filled the air

G-          A7

With silent stares

    B-           E-

But still no one dares

       E-7b5/Bb    /

We are strangers

    B-          G

The sad jealous praise

       E-       G-

As the symphony plays

    E-         G-        D      /C  /B  G-/Bb

And we are the foolish arrangers

              D       /C  /B  G-/Bb

The foolish arrangers
