Song

Standard tunning, not so sure about the chord names. I would say close enough if
you don't wish to change your guitar's tuning.

verse

D F#m*
I'm always assuming the worst
D7*
but you're going on none the less
G D-F#m*-D
and there's nothing to cusion your heart led fall.
Letters from further away
keep pulling me close to home
and there's something to cushion my callous sighs.
And I know that you hope for
longer good-byes
embracing for forever
and falling in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes

chorus

Pouring over photographs
D F#m*
I'm living in your letters.
Breathe deeply from this envelope
it smells like you and I can't be
without that scent, it's filling me
with all you mean to me
...to me

verse

Continually failing these trials
but you stand by me nonetheless
and you won't let me sink
though I'm beggin you.
Phone calls from further away
and messages on my machine,
but I don't ever tell you this distance
seems terrible.
There is no need to test my heart,
with useless space.
These roads go on forever
there'll always be a place,
for you, in my heart.
D5, Dsus4, D5*, Dsus4, D (x2)
So I'll hit the pavement
Dsus4 D5* Dsus4-D
it's gotta be better than waiting
and pushing you far away
cause I'm scared.
So I'll take my chances
and head on my way up there.
Cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten
