Across The Sea

[G]You [Bm]are [Em]18 [D]year old
[G]girl who l[Bm]ive in sm[Em]all city in [D]Japan.
[G]You heard [Bm]me, o[Em]n the [D]radio.
[G]About one y[Bm]ear a[Em]go and you wan[D]ted to know,
[G]all ab[Bm]out [Em]me, and my ho[D]bbies.
[G]My fa[Bm]vorite [Em]food and my b[D]irthday

[G]Why are y[Bm]ou so far [Em]away from [D]me?
[G]I need h[Bm]elp and y[Em]ou're way across the s[D]ea

[C]I could never t[G]ouch you - [C]I think it would be w[Am]rong
[G]    [G/f#]     [Em]  [D]
I've got your letter
[C]you've [D]got my [G]song

They don't make stationary like this where I'm from -
so fragile, so refined
So I sniff
and I lick
your envelope and fall to little pieces every time
I wonder what clothes you wear to school
I wonder how you decorate your room
I wonder how you touch yourself
and curse myself for being across the sea

Why are you so far away from me?
I need help and you're way across the sea

I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter
you've got my song

[G]   [G/f#]  [Em]        [D]          [C]               [D]
And then I shaved my head and tried to be a monk
[G]   [G/f#]  [Em]        [D]          [C]               [D]
I thought the older women would like me if i did
[G]   [G/f#]  [Em]        [D]          [C]               [D]
You see mom, I'm a good little boy
[G]   [G/f#]  [Em]        [D]          [C]               [D]
It's all your fault, momma. It's all your fault

(Verse Chords)
Goddamn, this business is really lame
I gotta live on an island to find the juice
So you send me
your love
from all around the world
As if I could live on words and dreams and a million screams
oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel.

Why are you so far away from me?
Why are you so far away from me?

I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong
I've got your letter
you've got my song
I've got your letter
you've got my song
