Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][G][D][A]

[Verse 1]
[Em]You were waiting outside for me in[G] the sun
[D]Laying down to soak it all in
[A]before we had to run
[Em]I was always ten feet
behind [G]you from the start
[D]Didn't know you were gone
[A]'til we were in the car

[Chorus 1]
[G]Oh, the glory of it all[D] was lost on me
[G]'Til I saw how hard it'd be to rea[A]ch you
And I would always [G]be
lightyears, lightyears a[D]way from you
[G]Lightyears, lightyears away[A] from you

[Verse 2]
[Em]I thought I saw your mother
last week[G]end in the park
[D]It could've been anybody,
[A]it was after dark
[Em]Everyone was lighting up
in [G]the shadows alone
[D]You could've been right there next to me,[A]

[Chorus 2]
and I'd have never known
[G]Oh, the glory of it all[D] was lost on me
[G]'Til I saw how hard it'd be to rea[A]ch you
And I would always [G]be
lightyears, lightyears a[D]way from you
[G]Lightyears, lightyears away[A] from you
[G]Lightyears, lightyears away[D] from you
[G]Lightyears, lightyears away[A] from you

[Outro 1]
[Em][G][D][A]
[Em][G][D][A]
[Em][G][D][A]
