Song structure/lyrics:


Intro: play intro/verse/chorus tab x1]


Verse 1: [use intro/verse/chorus tab throughout]
Things seem so much better when, theyre not part of your close surroundings
Like words in a letter sent, amplified by the distance
Possibilities and sweeter dreams, sights and sounds calling from far away

Pre-chorus: [use pre-chorus tab x1]
Calling from far away

Chorus: [use intro/verse/chorus tab throughout]
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I didn't see the brave girl so near me
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me, singing softly to me
I wanted a mystery that couldn't be solved
I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing
I wanted a story that couldn't be told
Only the fishing part of fishing
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I didn't see the brave girl so near me
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
I couldn't hear you singing softly to me, singing softly to me
And now I find it was you all the time
I'm in love again, it's too late now...
