Strum
D-DU-UDU
There's  a girl
 Across the sea
 And though I'm happy being loved it doesn't feel like love to me.
 Never feels like love to me.
 There's a girl
 Next to me
 And she's happy being lovely and it's not enough for me.
 It's not enough for me.
You're  out of mind,  I'm out of time,
 I only want  what I can't see,
But  I'll still wait  for her to run to me.
 Once a boy
 Now a man
 And even though I've grown 'the best I could' is still the best I can.
 I'm loving you the best I can
 And the girl
 Who's across the sea
 And traveled halfway round the world to be the perfect girl for me
 In all the ways you used to be.
You're  out of mind,  I'm out of time
 I only want  what I can't see
And  everything  about her's new to me.
Now  I see everything  we do  as a routine
Familiarity  breeds awful  things in me.
I  was out of my mind,  now I'll make time
 To be the man  that I could be
And  I was blind  to think that you weren't right for me
And  I was blind  to think it lay across the sea
