[Verse 1]
A                    Em7
over the sea and far away
                      A
she's waiting like an iceberg
            Em7
waiting to change
               A
but she's cold inside
                G            
she wants to be like the water

D Dsus2 Dsus4 Dsus2  

A                Em7            A
all the muscles tighten in her face
           Em7          A
buries her soul in one embrace
                     G
they're one and the same

just like the water


[Chorus]
  D            Bm
the fire fades away
               G
most of every day
            G/F#     Em7
is full of tired excuses
         A           D
but it's too hard to say
              Bm
i wish it was simple
               G
but we give up easily
       G/F#  Em7       A    
you're close enough to see that
Bm  A      G                 A          
you're the other side of the world to me

[Verse 2]
A                    Em7
on comes the panic light
                  A                     Em7
holding on with fingers and feelings alike
                   A
but the time has come
   G
to move along


[Chorus]
  D            Bm
the fire fades away
               G
most of every day
            G/F#     Em7
is full of tired excuses
         A           D
but it's too hard to say
              Bm
i wish it was simple
               G
but we give up easily
       G/F#  Em7       A    
you're close enough to see that
Bm  A      G                 A          
you're the other side of the world to me


[Bridge]
Em7            
can you help me
Gm                D Dsus2 Dsus4 Dsus2
can you let me go
Em                Bm
and can you still love me
                A  G  G/F#  Em7  D
when you can't see me anymore


[Chorus]
  D            Bm
the fire fades away
               G
most of every day
            G/F#     Em7
is full of tired excuses
         A           D
but it's too hard to say
              Bm
i wish it was simple
               G
but we give up easily

you're close enough to see that

you're the other side of the world to me
