D                    C
Sanity kind of got away from me
D                              C
Calling up should've come more easily
           D
With the back and the forth
                        G
Every hang up took the soul from me
       D
I feel empty inside
                                      C
More to lose than to try and make it better

Chorus:
C              Em    D
I keep on going the distance
C                  Em    D
Time keeps on making me hate this
C                    Em      D
It was hot as hell, I still feel
    C
As good as it was,
I just couldn't take the distance

Honestly, so much that I couldn’t see
Reachin' out never satisfied me
With the back and the forth
Every hang up took the soul from me
I feel empty inside
More to lose than to try and make it better

Chorus

This heart never grew stronger
Distance never grew fonder, just longer to wait
I'm never gonna wait again
I'm never gonna wait
Never gonna wait again
I'm never gonna—

Chorus:
I keep on goin' the distance
Time keeps on makin' me hate this
It was hot as hell, I still feel
As good as it was,
I just couldn’t keep on, I keep on—

I keep on goin' the distance (Ooh-ooh)
Time keeps on makin' me hate this (Ooh-ooh)
It was hot as hell, I still feel (Ooh-ooh)
As good as it was,
I just couldn’t take the distance

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Couldn't take the distance
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Couldn't take the distance (Reachin' out)
Couldn't take the distance (Reachin' out)
