So Far Away – Amanda Jenssen

You’re so far away[G/B]
but s[F/A]omehow I can feel you anyway[G/B].
It’s only been today[G/B]
I wis[F/A]hed that time would have stop[G/B]ped
so I could have stayed.

Maybe I’m not guessing this time.
What if baby I just want you to be mine?
It hurts when something beautiful
has to en[G/B]d before it starts.

I thought I packed it all
but I forgot my heart.

I’m so far away[G/B]
the fl[F/A]ower probably died[G/B] but it’s okay.
This might be in vain[G/B]
but i[F/A]f I was with you this is what I'[G/B]d say,

Although I’m kind of lonely
I feel fine.
Because I’ve done the discovery of all time.
Won’t you come a little closer
and I’ll g[G/B]ive you a clue.
I’ve figured out that happiness equals you.

Capo 3

Greetings from space
I am lost without a trace
Without a face, number
or name

Here we could stay
It feels nice to get away
from all the pain
the world has gone
insane

It’s all the same
handshakes and names
circulating ‘round
But I found
a leaphole
in the ground

So tell my guitar
I won’t be
coming home
tonight
Feels kinda pointless
when there’s no one
around

So I try
to say that I’m sorry
And I try
to do no harm
And I lied
when I said I was happy
If you love me
please let me go

Peel off my skin
I don’t need anything
I've lost your ring
But, honey, It’s just a thing
Here we could stay
It feels nice to get away
from all the pain
The world has gone insane

It’s all the same
handshakes and names
circulating ‘round
But I found
a leaphole
in the ground

So tell my guitar
I won’t be
coming home
tonight
Feels kinda pointless
when there’s no one
around

So I try
to say that I’m sorry
And I try
to do no harm
And I lied
when I said I was happy
If you love me
please let me go

So tell my guitar
I won’t be
coming home
tonight
Feels kinda pointless
when there’s no one
around

Verse 1:
[Ab-] We’ve had our share of joy and pain.
But we [F#-]both get up so high just to come [C#/E#]down a[Ab/Eb]gain.
And now, you’re like a rocket disengaging.

Verse 2:
[Ab-] Everything of yours have gathered up.
When you [F#-]come ‘round here you won’t be drinking [C#/E#]from my [Ab/Eb]cup.
And I’ve been fast asleep but now I’m waking. It had to happen sometime.

Chorus:
I’m rising up, [Eb-] I’m right [Ab-]over you.
So fly away, [Eb-] ‘cause that’s [Ab-]the best thing you can do.
Don’t keep [F#/A#]telling me how I should [Ab-]feel about us. I don’t feel [C#-7]anything, baby.

Verse 3:
There was love, I can’t deny,
but your [F#-]arms can’t hold on to me so just [C#/E#]keep them b[Ab/Eb]y your side
Your eyes won’t always be spilling over. Yeah, it had to happen sometime.

Chorus:
I’m rising up, I’m[Eb-] right over y[Ab-]ou
So fly away, ‘c[Eb-]ause that’s the be[Ab-]st thing you can do.
Don’t keep [F#/A#]telling me how I should [Ab-]feel about us. I don’t feel [C#-7]anything, baby.

Interlude:
[Eb-] Maybe we could have [Bb-]grown. What if I’ve made a mi[C#-]stake,
god [Ab-]knows! I’ll find [Bb-]out without you. Don’t fool yourself.

Verse 4:
[Ab-] And all those things you [Eb/G]thought we’d see.
Well you’re [F#-]gonna have to save them for some[C#/E#]one, not m[Ab/Eb]e.
One day, you will move on and that will be forever, forever, forever.

Chorus (2x):
I’m rising up, I’m[Eb-] right over y[Ab-]ou
So fly away, ‘c[Eb-]ause that’s the be[Ab-]st thing you can do.
Don’t keep [F#/A#]telling me how I should [Ab-]feel about us. I don’t feel [C#-7]anything, baby.

Intro C C

There is no point, is there? In trying, anymore
Where are you? When I need you, my love
Why won?t you care?
Days and nights they all seem to go by with the sun, this is our last goodbye

Oh, Sonny, my sweet Sonny,
I tried to hard
Goodnight Sunny, goodbye Sonny
We both know it?s right
Days and nights they all seem to go by with the sun, this is our last goodby
Days and nights they all seem to go by with the sun, this is our last goodby

It’s been four years since I saw the ocean
It’s been five nights since I held your hand
It’s been forever since we talked
the whole night through
It’s been too long I need a comfort hand

So tell my love I’m leaving
I gotta find something to believe in
Tell my love I’m leaving
for the sun for the sun
A new day has begun

It’s been forty nights and forty days
since I said I loved you
Took me two weeks to understand
But I just keep on searching
everywhere for something true
But I guess it all leads back to you

So tell my love I’m leaving
I gotta find something to believe in
Tell my love I’m leaving
for the sun for the sun
and the moon and the ocean
A new day has begun

Oh tell my love I’m leaving
Tell my love something to believe in
X X
Tell my love I’m going
X X
for the sun for the sun for the sun
A new day has begun

/ Pierre

La la la?.
I dont need no money, mommy
I don’t have a lover, brother
I keep away from the yuppies, papi
I just want my Amarula tree

Oh, it moves me without a touch
People say that I think too much
But I’m as happy as I can be
Hanging by my Amarula tree

I’m a dreamer and I dream of what will be
A better destiny
I’m a dreamer, and as far as I can see
Amarula trees
I’m a dreamer and I dream of what will be
A better world for you and me

I don’t look back, I look beyond
I’m just a struggling vagabond
But I get by with it on my own
Where you are is where I call home

Whouh, it moves me without a touch
People say that I drink too much
But I’m as happy as I can be
Hanging by my Amarula tree

I’m a dreamer and I dream of what will be
A better destiny
I’m a dreamer, and as far as I can see
Amarula trees
I’m a dreamer and I dream of what will be
A better world for you and me

|:Bm G:|
La la la?.

I ran away
but now I’m back
and you might think
that I am mad
The truth is
you are right
but I am tired of being sad
My head misses your shoulder
can’t you feel it?
Why, oh why?
I’ve been bad
but now I’m older
I’d be stupid not to try
Don’t worry

Da-da-da-darling
You will see

Da-da-da-darling
How sweet it could be
Don’t worry

I cry and cry
my eyes run dry
I’m lonely
can’t you see?
I know you could
You know you should
be sleeping next to me
When I need some air
a touch of flair
that’s when I sing this song
When you feel confused
too much too soon
That’s when you sing along

Don't worry
Da-da-da-darling
You will see
Da-da-da-darling
How sweet it could be
Don’t worry

I’m at your door
Let me in
Cause I want more
You just sigh
And tell me
that I lalalalalalalalalie
