You are 18 year old girl who live in small city in Japan. 
    Bm    Em         D 
You heard me on the radio. 
 G        Bm     C          D         G 
About one year ago and you wanted to know, 
     Bm       Em     D 
all about me and my hobbies. 
G      Bm       Em         D 
   My favorite food and my birthday
[Chorus]
G          Bm          Em       D 
Why are you so far away from me? 
G          Bm                  Em        D 
I need help and you're way across the sea 
C                G           Am 
I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong 
     G    D/F#     Em     D 
Oh - I've got your letter 
C      D       G 
you've got my song

G          Bm   Em     D        G 
They don't make stationery like this 
          Bm        C 
where I'm from - so fragile, 
D     G 
so refined 
     Bm    Em    D 
So I sniff and I lick 
G        Bm       C              D            G 
your envelope and fall to little pieces every time 
  Bm          Em          D       G 
I wonder what clothes you wear to school 
  Bm             C        D    G 
I wonder how you decorate your room 
  Bm             Em        D 
I wonder how you touch yourself 
    G       Bm        C      D        G 
and curse myself for being across the sea
[Chorus]
G       Bm          Em       D 
Why are you so far away from me? 
G       Bm                  Em        D 
I need help and you're way across the sea 
C             G           Am 
I could never touch you - I think it would be wrong 
G    D/F#     Em     D 
I've got your letter 
C      D      G 
you've got my song

At 10 I shaved my head and tried to be a monk 
E  Emaj7      C#m7   G#7         A           Amaj7 
I thought the older women would like me if i did 
E  Emaj7 C#m        B          A                B 
You see mom, I'm a good little boy (good little boy)

It's all your fault, momma.

G   Bm        Em          D      G 
Goddamn, this business is really lame 
        Bm         C         D        G 
I gotta live on an island to find the juice 
       Bm   Em      D 
So you send me your love 
     G              Bm 
from all around the world 
        C       D     G         Bm           C       D 
As if I could live on words and dreams and a million screams 
    G     Bm     C       D       G 
oh, how I need a hand in mine to feel.
[Bridge]
G       Bm         Am        Em    D 
Why are you so far away from me? 
G       Bm         Am        Em 
Why are you so far away from me?
