Em
1. You took a part of me that I really miss.
   I keep asking myself how long it can go like this.
       Am                                 
   You told yourself a lie; that`s all right mama, I told myself one 
     Em
   too. 
              B7                    Am
   I`m trying to get closer but I`mstill a million miles from you.
       
2. You took the silver, you took the gold.
   You left me standing out in the cold.
   People ask about you; I didn`t tell them everything I knew.
   Well I`m trying to get closer but I`m still a million miles from you.

3. I`m drifting in and out of dreamless sleep.
   Throwing all my memories in a ditch so deep.
   Did so many things I never did intend to do.
   Well I`m trying to get closer but I`m still a million miles from you.

4. I need your love so bad, turn your lamp down low.
   I need every bit of it for the places that I go.
   Sometimes I wonder just what it`s all coming to.
   Well I`m trying to get closer but I`m still a million miles from you.

5. Well I don`t dare close my eyes and I don`t dare wink.
   Maybe in the next life I`ll be able to hear myself think.
   Feel like talking to somebody but I just don`t know who.
   Well I`m trying to get closer but I`m still a million miles from you.

6. The last thing you said before you hit the street.
   'Gonna find me a janitor  to sweep me off my feet'.
   I said, 'That`s all right mama...you...you do what you gotta do'.
   Well I`m trying to get closer but I`m stil a million miles from you.

7. Rock me pretty baby rock me `til everything gets real.
   Rock me for a little while rock me `til there`s nothing left to feel.
   And I`ll rock you too.
   I`m trying to get closer but I`m still a million miles from you.

8. Well there`s voices in the night trying to be heard.
   I`m sitting here listening to every mind polluting word.
   I know plenty of people who would put me up for a day or two.
   Yes I`m trying to get closer but I`m still a million miles from you.
