Across the Sea Lyrics

submitted by m. burgess
and this is how you would play it on the guitar
e----------------------------------------3 (add heavy distortion)
You are an eighteen year old
girl who lives in the small city of Japan
You heard me on the radio
About one year ago and you wanted to know
All about me and my hobbies
My favorite food and my birthday
Why are you so far a way from me?
I need help and your way accccross the sea
All notes
I could neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever
touch youuuuuu
I think it would be wrong oh
I've got your letter You've got my song
Riff A
They don't make stationary like
this where I'm from so fragile, so refined
So I sniff and I lick
(So I snare) (and I lick)
Your envelope and fall to little pieces every
time I wonder what clothes you wear to
school. I wonder how you decorate your
room I wonder how you touch yourself and
G B C D (play fill 1)
curse myself for being across the sea
Filll 1
Fixed from the previous version. May not be completely right, but
it's a helluva lot closer than the last one.

At ten I shaved my head and tried to be a monk
I thought the older women would like me if i did
You see mom I'm a good little boy
(good little boy)
It's all your fault momma It's all your fault
Goddamn This business is really lame
I gotta live on an island to find the juice
So you send me your love
(So you send) (me your love)
From all around the world As if I could live on
(from all around the world)
Words and dreams and a million screams oh
How I need a hand in mine to feel
Why are you so far away from me
Why are you so far away from me
All notes
I could neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever
touch youuuuuu
I think it would be wrong oh
I've got your letter You've got my song
(I've got your
I've got your letter you've got my song
letter)
