Lyrics

(A)O ver the sea and far a (Em7)way she’s wait ing like an (A)ice berg, wait ing to change.

But she’s cold in side,

she wants to be like

the wa ter.

on All the mus cles tight en in her face, fin gers and bu ries her soul in one em brace.

They’re one and the same, just like wa ter.

And the fire fades a way

and most of ev ’ry day is full of (Bm)tired ex cu ses,

but it’s (A)too hard to say.

I wish it were sim ple but we give up ea si ly.

You’re close e nough to see that (Bm)you’re

the oth er (G)side of the (A)world to me.

And

And the fire fades a way

and most of ev ’ry day is full of (Bm)tired ex cu ses,

but it’s (A)too hard to say.

I wish it were sim ple but we give up ea si ly.

You’re close e nough to see that (Bm)you’re

the oth er (G)side of the (A)world.

Can you help me?

Can you let me go?

And can you still love me when you can’t see me a ny more?

And the fire fades a (Bm7)way,

most of ev ’ry day is full of (Bm)tired ex cu (Em)ses, but it’s (A)too hard to say.

I wish it were sim ple but we give up ea si ly.

You’re close e nough to see that (Bm)you’re

the oth er (G)side of the (A)world,

oh,

the oth er (G)side of the (A)world.

(Bm)You’re

the oth er (G)side of the (A)world

to (D)me.
