 Verse: The same tab with every chord.
          Em      D            C    G
We're a thousand miles from comfort,
          Em       D        C   G
 we have traveled land and sea
        Em      D       C     G
But as long as you are with me,
         Am                     C
 there's no place I'd rather be
 Em      D      C     G
I would wait forever,
  Em     D       C    G
 exalted in the scene
   Em      D     C      G
As long as I am with you,
Am                  C
my heart continues to beat

With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
G               Am
Strolling so casually
Em                        D/F#
We're different and the same, gave you another name

Switch up the batteries

It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it

Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me

When I am with you, there's no place I rather be

We staked out on a mission

to find our inner peace

Make it everlasting

so nothing's incomplete

It's easy being with you,

sacred simplicity
