The Distance

A C#m D Bloodstains on faded pictures A C#m D And it comes in waves, as her shouts turn into whispers A As thoughts keep running through her brain C#m D And make the pounding in her heartbeat quicker A She says it all comes down to the run-around C#m D And as the book slips in her fingers A C#m D Says I don't really think the drugs they've got can pull it off A C#m D So I'm going to sell my blood to a man I met in Simon's Rock A C#m D He's got a plan to put me in a diamond top A C#m D And make a grand playing geriatric glam nostalgia rock A Shaking to the core, breaks in the door C#m D Makes out twenty five laying on the floor A All praying to the lord. But the praying's ignored C#m D He's saying that they should have been praying before, and he warned them A C#m D And we woke that night to the rains of a nuclear warhead A C#m D And she said, “Oh my soul's gone cold and lost, and I'm throwing it off” A C#m D Oh, won't you go, make the most of a bad existence A C#m D Cause you're so much older than she ever planned to live with A And she says everybody knows the difference C#m D Between a right to try and a life of lies A C#m D And if you go the distance, go the distance A I fall behind A C#m D 18, with a s*x addiction A C#m D And he states his dreams in written online erotica fiction A C#m D Accounts of places he ain't been, about relationships envisioned A Types tomorrow night's been a long time coming C#m D If they'd have only listened A Shaking in the night, wakes and he writes C#m D 25 ways you could waste your life A Says he takes what he likes, breaks with the light C#m D Makes for Boston with his fate decided A C#m D He says he prays that every thought's been pre-assigned to him Cause it's blinding A C#m D And oh my soul's gone cold and lost and I'm throwing it off A C#m D Oh, won't you go, make the most of a bad existence A C#m D Cause you're so much older than she ever planned to live with A And she says everybody's got commitments C#m D Between a right to try and a life of lies A C#m D And if you go the distance, go the distance A C#m D I fall behind A C#m D I fall behind
