F#          D#m                A#m
You flicker like a fluorescent light
F#      D#m                 A#m
An intermittent strobe in a lonely night
F#       D#m             A#m
As I am standing by your side
F#        D#m                  A#m
Trying to breach this dark and deep divide

Chorus:
       B
You're here
   C#
So far away
    B
So near
    F# D#m A#m
So far

I hear you talking to yourself
Cursing every card you wanted dealt
But I can't help you play your hand
If you mistake every word for a command

Chorus:
        B
You're here
    C#
So far away
    B
So near
   D#m     F#
So far away
        B
You're here
   C#
So far away
    B
So near
    F# D#m A#m
So far away
F# D#m A#m
Far away

You flicker like a fluorescent light
An intermittent strobe in a lonely night
But I won't watch you burning out
I won't let you be the one I live without

Chorus:
You're here
So far away
So near
So far away
You're here
So far away
So near
So far away

Far away
Far away
