        C            Csus4
  I'm a billion ages past you
    C               Csus4
  A million years behind you too
    Bb                G
  A thousand miles up in the air
    Bb                  G    G6  G7
  A trillion times I've seen you there
  
  C                    Csus4
  Your hair is golden, mine is grey
  C                     Csus4
  You walk on grass, it turns to hay
  Bb                          G
  Your blood is blue and your eyes are red
  Bb                       G      G6        G7
  My body strains, but the nerves are dead
  
  [Chorus 1]
          C               Bb
  I can't reach you, I've strained my eyes
          C               Bb
  I can't reach you, I've split my sides
          C      G/B    /  Am7 G6 /
  I can't reach, tryin' to get on you
  Fadd9 C/E  /  Gsus4 F/D     C
  See,  feel or hear  from you
  
  | C   | G    | C    | G    |
  
  The distances grow greater now
  You drink champagne and past me plough
  You fly your plane right over my head
  You're so alive and I'm nearly dead
  
  [Chorus 2]
          C               Bb
  I can't reach you, with arms outstretched
          C            Bb
  I can't reach you, I crane my neck
          C      G/B    /  Am7 G6 /
  I can't reach, tryin' to get on you
  Fadd9 C/E  /  Gsus4 F/D  /   C 
  See,  feel or hear  from you
  
  | C   | G    | C    | G     |
  
  [Bridge]
  Am                              G         (C/G)     (G)
  Once I caught a glimpse of your unguarded, untouched heart
      Am                             G         C/G G
  Our fingertips touched and then my mind tore us apart
  
  [Repeat chorus 2]

  I can't reach you, with arms outstreched

  I can't reach you, I crane my neck

  I can't reach tryin' to get on  you

  See,  feel or hear  from you
