Far From Me chords by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

intro: C   Dm

C                      Dm
For you dear, I was born
C                    Dm
For you I was raised up
C                          Dm
For you I've lived and for you I will die
                   C               Dm
For you I am dying now
F                      G
You were my mad little lover
     F                                  G
In a world where everybody fucks everybody else over
               Dm                      G
You who are so far from me
Dm                      G
So far from me
Em              F             G
Way across some cold neurotic sea
C               Dm
Far from me

C                          Dm
I would talk to you of all matter of things
C                          Dm
With a smile you would reply
C                          Dm
Then the sun would leave your pretty face
                                         C         Dm
And you'd retreat from the front of your eyes
F                          G
I keep hearing that you're doing best
F                             G
I hope your heart beats happy in your infant breast
           Dm                      G
You are so far from me
Dm                      G
Far from me
C                      Dm
Far from me

C                           Dm
There is no knowledge but i know it
C                                     Dm
There's nothing to learn from that vacant voice
C                   Dm
That sails to me across the line
                              C           Dm
From the ridiculous to the sublime
F                                 G
It's good to hear you're doing so well
           F                                 G
But really can't you find somebody else that you can ring and tell
             Dm               G
Did you ever care for me?
              Dm              G
Were you ever there for me?
   C                          Dm
So far from me

C                  Dm
You told me you'd stick by me
C                                      Dm
Through the thick and through the thin
C                      Dm
Those were your very words
                      C           Dm
My fair-weather friend
F                         G
You were my brave-hearted lover
       F                           G
At the first taste of trouble went running back to mother
   Dm            G
So far from me
Dm               G
Far from me
Em                F                  G
Suspended in your bleak and fishless sea
C            F
Far from me
C            F         C
