Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Far From Me

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 fxxks 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
far from me
