NONE
[Verse]
D
Being alive costs a lotta money
Em
So does dying
G
Giving up takes a lot of effort
A
But sort of trying
D Bm
You can sell yourself your own soul babe
If no one's buying
[Chorus]
G D
I get the feeling I'm further away (I get the feeling)
G D
I get the feeling I'm further away (I get the feeling)
G D
I get the feeling I'm further away
A
The closer I get
[Verse]
D
I try to live in the light of day
Em
But I don't feel enlightened
G
I'm scared of what I'll have to do
A
But I'm not frightened
D Bm
My heart lives in the same old cage babe
These walls they've tightened
[Chorus]
G D
I get the feeling I'm further away (I get the feeling)

I get the feeling further away (I get the feeling)
G D
I get the feeling I'm further away
A
The closer I get
[Break]

I get closer, all I know

You can't see the big picture from below
F#m Em
Say you're all grown up now, past is gone

Little piece of what we had still lingers on
[Instrumental/Solo]

F#m Em D G A

Standing for something is hard
Em
Standing for nothing's harder

Try not to act like a total jerk
A
But they still call you a martyr

I'm just somebody's mother, somebody's sister
Who's somebody's daughter
[Chorus]
G D
I get the feeling I'm further away (I get the feeling)
G D
I get the feeling I'm further away (I get the feeling)
G D
I get the feeling I'm further away
A
The closer I get

The closer I get (I get the feeling)
G
The closer I get (I get the feeling)

Closer I get (I get the feeling)

Closer I get (I get the feeling) (I get the feeling)
G
So far away (I got this feeling)
A
So far away (I get the feeling)
G D
Closer I geeeeeeeeeeet (I get the feeling) (I get the feeling)
G A G D
(I get the feeling) (I get the feeling)
