The Distance Between You and Me Lyrics

Dwight Yoakam - The Distance Between You And Me (tab)
D = xx0232 or 000232 (dropped D) A = x02220
G = 320003 or 550003 (dropped D)
Take a rock, tie a rope,
Throw it down in the sea.
Let it fall to the bottom,
Nobody knows how deep.
Stare real hard through the water,
And you might just perceive,
The distance between you and me.
Yeah, the distance between you and me.
Take a map of the world,
And measure with your hands,
All of the miles across all of the lands.
Write it down, add it up,
And you might understand,
'Bout the distance between you and me.
Yeah, the distance between you and me.
I lie awake and hear you breathing,
Only inches from me in this bed.
Not much space, but its all that we're needin',
To live alone now that our love is dead.
INSTRUMENTAL
I lie awake and hear you breathing,
Only inches from me in this bed.
Not much space, but its all that we're needin',
To live alone now that our love is dead.
Climb the Earth's tallest mountain,
To where it reaches the sky.
Take a gun, fire a bullet,
Straight up out of sight.
Where it stops in the heavens,
Well, that ain't half as high,
As the distance between you and me.
As the distance between you and me.
