[Verse 1]
C
They say distance is relative
Am
Relative to relatives I have
I’d say I’m relatively close
F
To breaking down
G
Because right now
C
I feel so alone
C
I’ve been missing the elements and
Am
Wishing the elephant in the room
Would leave and kindly close the door
F
I can’t ignore
G
Him like before
C
Not anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
F
Oh I miss you most at
G
Six feet apart when you’re
Am
Right outside my window
C
Looking right inside my car and it
F                                                            G
Hurts to know just how lovely you are
Am                                                                 C
And be too far away to hold but close enough to break my heart
F
I miss your smile
G
Feels like miles
C
Six feet apart

[Chorus]
G
So far, so far but so close
F
Like a star, out in the cosmos
G
Can’t touch, the beauty I see
C
That’s how, it all feels to me
G
So far, so far but so close
F
Like a star, out in the cosmos
G
Can’t touch, the beauty I see
C
That’s how, it feels at 6 feet

[Verse 2]
C
Space and time are interwoven
Or at least thats what we’re told
Am
When I was young I was suspicious but it’s true
F
Time sticks like glue
G
I feel so blue
C
Here missing you
So I think I’ll build a time machine and go back to a time
Am
When we didn’t need to measure six feet on the ground
F
And I came around
G
That’s not allowed
C
Can’t go back now

[Pre-Chorus]
F
So I miss you most at
G
Six feet apart when you’re
C
Right outside my window
Am
Looking right inside my car and it
F                                                 G
Hurts to know just how lovely you are
C                                                                               Am
And be too far away to hold but close enough to break my heart
F
I miss your smile
G
Feels like miles
C
Six feet apart

[Chorus]
G
So far, so far but so close
F
Like a star, out in the cosmos
G
Can’t touch, the beauty I see
C
That’s how, it all feels to me
G
So far, so far but so close
F
Like a star, out in the cosmos
G
Can’t touch, the beauty I see
C
That’s how, it feels at 6 feet
