No Distance
View chords used in this chart
E/G# D/F#
It's been all days of lasting evenings
A/E
And dawn breaks too late
E/G#
As the weight of the world
D/F# A/E
Punishes my knees
E/G#
When it's all rest
D/F#
But there's no dreaming
A/E
Or the words come to fail
E/G#
The movement of my lungs
D/F# A/E
Will soon remember me
E/G# D/F# A/E
There's no distance left to run
E/G# D/F# A/E
No work yet to be done
E/G# D/F#
The reward is to keep on walking by
A/E
Your own path, your own song
E/G# D/F# A/E
'Cause there's no distance left to run
E/G# D/F#
May your chest feel the warmth
A/E
Lay down your arms, now it's safe
E/G# A/E
To let it hurt out of yourself
D/F#
And then be healed
E/G# D/F#
I've been trying (trying!)
A/E
To reach some comfort in my eyes
E/G#
It's not the first
D/F# A/E
It won't be the last time
F#m7
If it's the world's end
G#m7
I'll know how to start over
A Bbº
I will taste peace, I will see clearer
E/G# D/F# A/E
There's no distance left to run
E/G# D/F# A/E
No work yet to be done
E/G# D/F#
The reward is to keep on walking by
A/E
Your own path, your own song
