A Far CryCifra

Intro: G ~ Em   Am G D 

verse 1 
     C                  Bm 
I've heard misfortune's losses 
    C             G       ~       Em 
And wasted ways before me buy the costs 
   C              G     ~         Em 
Of giving someone time enough for spending 
D         Am 
Love only borrowed 


verse 2 
     C                Bm 
I've placed myself at ease 
C                G       ~      Em 
Listening to the lies of self-belief 
    C                 G      ~         Em 
For wanting something close enough for keeping 
  D            Am 
A far cry from here 

 
    G                     D 
But I believe in ways and means 
   G              D/F#               Em 
To speak another, dear, who has been spared 
C            G ~ Em 
Innocence so near___ 
  D            Am 
A far cry from here 



Instrumental: G  ~  Em    Am  G  D    G  ~  Em    Am  G  D 


verse 3 
     C                  Bm 
Even still the night is passing 
  C                G    ~          Em 
Behind my heart an emptiness still follows 
    C                  G       ~        Em 
The distance damns the swallow hard for lending 
D         Am 
Love only borrowed 


verse 4 
             C                   Bm 
And some are sad___, but true to know 
        C                 G       ~       Em 
There's belonging in just longing for someone 
   C                 G      ~    Em 
My shoulder rests, a road I only follow 
D         Am 
Love only borrowed 

 
        G                     D 
Oh, but I believe in ways and means 
   G              D/F#               Em 
To speak another, dear, who has been spared 
C            G ~ Em 
Innocence so near___ 
  D            Am 
A far cry from here 


        G                     D 
Oh, but I believe in ways and means 
   G              D/F#               Em 
To speak another, dear, who has been spared 
C            G ~ Em 
Innocence so near___ 
  D            Am 
A far cry from here
