So Far Away

Words & Music:

Carole King

 

   DM7  D6

So far away.

DM7             D6          GM7      G6

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

Em7            A7               DM7     G  DM7

It would be so fine to see your face at my door.

GM7     F#m7    Em7       A7          DM7   D6

Doesn't help to know that you're just time away

 

Long ago I reached for you and there you stood

Holding you again could only do me good

GM7   F#m7   Em7        A7        DM7  D6  DM9  D  A/C#

How I wish I could, but you're so far away

 

Bm                  D                G   D/F#

One more song about movin' along the highway.

Em7               A7              DM7

Can't say much of anything that's new.

   F#m                             Em7

If I could only work this life out my way,

    A7           Bm Dm7              A7

I'd rather spend it bein' close to you

 

But you're so far away.

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door.

Doesn't help to know you're so far away.

 

Travelin' around sure gets me down and lonely.

Nothin' else to do but close my mind.

I sure hope the road don't come to own me.

But there's so many dreams I've yet to find.

 

But you're so far away.

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

It would be so fine to see your face at my door.

And it doesn't help to know you're so far away.
