Verse 1:
F# minorF#m                A augmentedA
 You were waiting outside for me... in the sun
E MajorE                BB
 Laying down to soak it all in... before we had to run
F# minorF#m              A augmentedA
 I was always ten feet behind you... from the start
E MajorE              BB
 Didn't know you were gone...'til we were in the car

Chorus:
A augmentedA             E MajorE
 Oh, the glory of it all... was lost on me
A augmentedA                 BB
 'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you, and I would always be
A augmentedA              E MajorE
 Light years, light years away from you
A augmentedA              BB
 Light years, light years away from you

F# minorF#m                  A augmentedA
 I thought I saw your mother last weekend... in the park
E MajorE             BB
 It could've been anybody... it was after dark
F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
 Everyone was lighting up in the shadows... alone
E MajorE                     BB
 You could've been right there next to me... and I'd have never known


Chorus:
A augmentedA             E MajorE
 Oh, the glory of it all... was lost on me
A augmentedA                 BB
 'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you, and I would always be
A augmentedA              E MajorE
 Light years, light years away from you
A augmentedA              BB
 Light years, light years away from you
A augmentedA              E MajorE
 Light years, light years away from you
A augmentedA              BB
 Light years, light years away from you
