[Verse 1]
   Dmaj9   D6
So far a - way,
Dmaj9           D6          Gmaj7       G6
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?
Em7            G/A              Dmaj7   G/D Dmaj7
It would be so fine to see your face at my  door,
                                ^    ^  ^   ^
   Gmaj7   F#m7    Em7  G/A          Dmaj9          D6
It doesn't help to know you're just...     time a - way,
Dmaj9      D6                    Gmaj7           G6
Long ago I reached for you, and...     there you stood,
Em7             G/A             Dmaj7    G/D  Dmaj7
Holding you a - gain could only do    me---   good,
                                ^     ^  ^    ^
Gmaj7 F#m7   Em7        G/A
How I wish I could, but you're so...
Dmaj9            D6      Dmaj9    D  A/C#
      ...far a - way!  |  /   /   /   /  |

[Verse 2]
Bm                  A6               G
One more song about moving along the highway,
G  D/F#  Em7               G/A             Dmaj7
         Can't say much of anything that's new,
   F#m          F#m7               Em7
If I could only work this life out---- my way,
    G/A          Bm       Em7           G/A
I'd rather spend it being close to you------...

[Verse 3]
                 Dmaj9           D6
...But you're so      ...far a - way,
Dmaj9           D6          Gmaj7       G6 
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?
Em7            G/A              Dmaj7   G/D Dmaj7
It would be so fine to see your face at my  door,
                                ^    ^  ^   ^
   Gmaj7   F#m7    Em7  G/A        Dmaj9         D6
It doesn't help to know you're so...     far a - way,
Dmaj9        D6             Gmaj7        G6    Em7   G/A    N.C.
      Yeah - eah, you're so...   far a - way! | /  /  /  / |
                                                ^  ^  ^
[Verse 4]
G/A                   A6               G/A
Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely,
Em7                 G/A                Dmaj7
Nothing else to do,    ...but close my mind,
  F#m7                             Em7
I sure hope the road don't come to  ...own me,
        G/A     Bm          Em7                G/A
There's so many dreams I've yet to find-----
                             ^   ^  ^
[Verse 5]
N.C.                 Dmaj9          D6
    ...But you're so     ...far a - way,
Dmaj9           D6          Gmaj7       G6 
Doesn't anybody stay in one place any - more?
            Em7     G/A              Dmaj7   G/D Dmaj7
It would be...   so fine to see your face at my  door,
       Gmaj7   F#m7    Em7  G/A        Dmaj9         D6
And it doesn't help to know you're so...     far a - way,
Dmaj9        D6               Gmaj7         G6
      Yeah - eah, you're so...      far a - way,
Em7      G/A           Dmaj9      D6      Dmaj9   D6
    Hey,     you're so...    far-----  a- way------!
