Alex Day - Across The Sea

A
there’s a girl

across the sea
G
and though i’m happy being loved it doesn’t feel like love to me .
A
never feels like love to me .

A
there’s a girl

next to me
G
and she’s happy being lovely and it’s not enough for me .
A
it’s not enough for me .

G F# D
you’re out of mind , i’m out of time ,
A G
i only want what i can’t see ,
D Dm A
but i’ll still wait for her to run to me .

once a boy

now a man
G
and even though i’ve grown ’the best i could’ is still the best i can .
D
i’m loving you the best i can

A
and the girl

who’s across the sea
G
and traveled halfway round the world to be the perfect girl for me
A
in all the ways you used to be .

G F# D
you’re out of mind , i’m out of time
A G
i only want what i can’t see
D Dm A
and everything about her’s new to me .

E D G A
now i see everything we do as a routine
E D G E
familiarity breeds awful things in me .

G F# D
i was out of my mind , now i’ll make time
A G
to be the man that i could be

D Dm A
and i was blind to think that you weren’t right for me
G Gm D
and i was blind to think it lay across the sea
