C                G                       C
I wake up all alone, somewhere unfamiliar.
                   G                 Am
Been gone so many days, I’m losing count.
                 Em               G#
When I think of home, I see your face.
                  G
I know I have to wait…

Chorus:
 C            Em
So close, yet so far
      Am
It’s tearing me apart
 G#                    A#
What I would do to be there with you
 C           Em
So close yet so far
      Am
It’s tearing me apart
 G#                    A#
What I would do to be back with you

I miss hearing your laughter
And all the little things
Forgotten what it's like to hold you
'Cause where I am right now
So unforgiving
It's numbing everything

Chorus:
We're so close, yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do, to be there with you
You're so close, yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do, to be back with you

F
So promise
    Am
No matter how long it takes for me to
     Dm
get back to you
        A#
You’ll wait for me.
F
I Promise
    Am                                 Dm
No matter how far away I go I’ll come back for you
     A#
Just wait and see
C                G
I miss being at home
             G#
I miss your face
                   G
Don’t think I can wait...

Chorus:
We're so close, yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do, to be there with you
You're so close, yet so far
It's tearing me apart
What I would do, to be back with you

I promise, it's tearing me apart
No matter how far away I go,
I'll always come back for you
I promise, it's tearing me apart
What I would do
What i would do
What I would do to be back with you
