Lyrics

You can reach me by (Ebsus2)rail way, you can reach me by (Bb)trail way.

You can reach me on an (Cm11)air plane, you can (Cm7)reach me with your mind.

You can (Gm7)reach me by (Ebsus2)car a van, cross the des ert like an (Bb)A rab man.

I don’t care how you get here, just get here if you can.

You can reach me by (Ebsus2)sail boat, climb a tree and swing (Gm7)rope to rope.

Take a sled and slide a (Cm7)big down bal loon slope but in to these arms of mine.

You can (Gm7)jump on a (Ebsus2)speed y colt, cross the bor der in a (Bb)blaze of hope.

I don’t care how you get here, just get here if you can.

There are (Ab)hills and moun tains be tween us, al ways some thing to (Dm7)get o ver.

If I (Gm)had my way, sure ly you would (Ebmaj9)be clos er.

(Cm11)I need you clo ser.

(Ebsus2)to my take me up on a (Gm7)car pet ride.

You can make it slide a (Cm7)big down bal loon slope but you bet ter make it soon.

You can (Gm7)reach me by (Ebsus2)car a van, cross the des ert like an (Bb)a rab man.

I don’t care how you get here, just get here if you can.

There are (Ab)hills and moun tains be tween us, al ways some thing to (Dm7)get o ver.

If I (Gm)had my way, sure ly you would (Ebmaj9)be clos er.

(Cm11)I need you clo ser.

(Cm11)I need you clo ser.

You can wind surf in how you get here, just get here if you can.

I don’t care how you get here, just

(CN.C.)get here if
