I CAN'T REACH YOU- The Who
C Csus C
I'm a million ages past you
C Csus C
A million years behind you too
Bb G
A thousand miles up in the air
Bb G7
A trillion times I've seen you there
C Csus C
Your hair is golden, mine is grey
C Csus C
You walk on grass, it turns to hay
Bb G
Your blood is blue and your eyes are red
Bb G
My body strains, but the nerves are dead
CHORUS #1:
C Bb
I can't reach you I've strained my eyes
C Bb
I can't reach you I've split my sides
C G/B Am7 Em
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you
Fmaj9 C Gsus Dm7 C
See, feel or hear from you
The distances grow greater now
You drink champagne and past me plow
You fly your plane right over my head
You're still alive and I'm nearly dead
CHORUS #2:
C Bb
I can't reach you with arms outstretched
C Bb
I can't reach you I crane my neck
C G/B Am7 Em
I can't reach, tryin' to get on you
Fmaj7 C Gsus Dm7 C
See, feel or hear from you
BRIDGE:
G C G Am G C G
Once I caught a glimpse of your unguarded, untouched heart
Am G C G
Our fingertips touched and then my mind tore us apart
REPEAT CHORUS #2 D G A D G A
CHORUS #3:
D C
I can't reach you, I've strained my eyes
D C
I can't reach you they're hypnotized
D A Bm7 F#m
I can't reach tryin' to get on you
Gmaj9 D Asus4 Em7 D
See, feel or hear from you
