The Faraway Nearby


From the album, ”True Colors” 1986


Original key D - Here capo 2

C                   G
Out in the faraway nearby
C                   G
Can your hear my call
C                   G
Out in the faraway nearby
C                   G
I'm breaking down the walls
C                   G
Till you're here to stay
C                   G
Out from the faraway

F
Hot looks, cold words, Don't know what it is you heard
G
But I didn't mean it,
C                      F
If I said something wrong
F
Short nights, long dreams. Something happens in between
G
Then a weird feeling,
  C                         F
Like you're here but still you're gone
F
...Oo, heart beats Like a knock on the door
       G               C
But it sounds so faraway

                  G
In the faraway nearby
C                   G
Can your hear me call
C                   G
Out in the faraway nearby
C                   G
I'm breaking down the walls
C                   G
Till you're here to stay
C                   G
Out from the faraway

F
Big whisper, small scream. But it's not like what it seems
G
Locked up in the open
       C                           F
Don't know which way to go
F
Deserts, oceans. Leaving footprints in the sand
G
Hoping that you'll see them
    C                         F
And wishing you'd follow
F
...And walk with me hand in hand, ya-ha
F
And talk with me you got a plan, ah-ha
F
And hold me, and hold me Don't stop... 

C                   G
in the faraway nearby
C                   G
Can you here me call. . . . .
