[Verse 1]

Db
Everytime I've needed you
Dbmaj7
You've been there for me
    Db7                          Gb      Fm7
But now I feel a boundary has been drawn
Ebm7             Fm7
I can see from all you do
        Bbm7           Eb7
That you still care for me
Ebm7          Ebm7/Ab     Dbmaj7
I know the feeling hasn't gone

[Chorus]

              Db
But there's a space between us
  Dbmaj7
A place that I can't go
  Db7                              Gb
Unless you step across and meet me halfway
           Bbm7                 Eb7
We've been friends for much too long
           Bbm7         Eb7
And the feeling's much too strong
   Gb/Ab
To let it go astray
                                        Bbm7   Eb7  Bbm7
Reach out and make the space between us go away

[Bridge]

Eb7      Bbm7                      Eb7
I know a little bit of space between two friends
        Bbm7          Eb7
Can sometimes do them good
    Ebm7/Ab
But once in a while we need to touch the way that people should
   Bbm7                   Eb9
Oh love can tie you down, I know
      Bbm7               Eb9
Cause you know I've been there
     Gb/Ab
But I've been working on a way to love and still be free to care

[Verse 3]

Db
You love your lady
      Dbmaj7
And I know just what you're thinking
      Db7                              Gb
Was a time I used to be just where you are
          Ebm7          Fm
But since I've found my freedom
         Bbm7            Eb7
And I've finally let it sink in
    Ebm7/Ab             Db
The distance isn't very far

[Chorus]

              Db
But there's a space between us
  Dbmaj7
A place that I can't go
  Db7                              Gb
Unless you step across and meet me halfway
           Bbm7                 Eb7
We've been friends for much too long
           Bbm7         Eb7
And the feeling's much too strong
   Gb/Ab
To let it go astray
                                        Bbm7   Eb7  Bbm7
Reach out and make the space between us go away

[Outro]

Bbm7  Eb7                 Bbm7                           Bbm7   Eb9
      I want you to reach out and make the space between us go away,
                  Ebm7       Ebm7/Ab         Bbm7
I want you to reach out, I know that you can hear me
Eb9             Ebm7     Ebm7/Ab          Bbm7
Come on and reach out, I need to feel you near me
Eb7                 Bbm7                Eb7         Bbm7  Eb7
I want you to reach out and make the space between us go away
Eb7                 Bbm7                Eb7         Bbm7  Eb7
I want you to reach out and make the space between us go away
