Am
Far away from home again
         Am                            F
There's nothing I can do to stop this pain
      Am                            Am 
I've taken everything there is to take
                         F
But I can't make it go away

I've got photographs of memories
Everything I need is far away from me
I've got photographs of memories
Everyone I need is far away from me

Chorus:
                     Am    Am 
Can you help me get closer
         F
When I think about the ones I love
                             Am   Am 
I feel the stars above get closer
    F
And it may seem I'm far away
                                       Am
But it doesn't stop me wishing I was closer

Not to feel so low
        Am 
I'm on edge, when I feel like home
       F
Is so far away, so far away

At night I call you wonderful
You voice reminds me how much I feel alone
There's nothing I can say to you
To make you understand these things I do

I've got photographs of memories
Everything I need is far away from me
I've got photographs of memories
Everyone I need is far away from me

Chorus

                F
Wishing I was closer
                Am   Am 
Wishing I was closer
                F
Wishing I was closer

      Am
I get high not to feel so low
        Am 
I'm on edge, when I feel like home
       F                   G
Is so far away, so far away - x4

                Am
Wishing I was closer
