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

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


Verse 2:
F#m                  A
 I thought I saw your mother last weekend... in the park
E             B
 It could've been anybody... it was after dark
F#m               A
 Everyone was lighting up in the shadows... alone
E                     B
 You could've been right there next to me... and I'd have never known


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