From Afar

TRANSCRIBER: Jarred Matthes (Webmaster)

Tab Explanation:
h=hammeron
p=pulloff
<#>=natural hamonic on fret in <>
=down
/=slide up

(#)= Panned Delays. (In the intro, you can hear the delays almost as 
notes, then in the main part of the song, the panned delays are VERY
PROMENANT. You would only play the first chord in the 3, and let the delay
play the second two, but if you don't have a delay pedal, play each one
very percussively, with some palm muting.

FROM AFAR- Lyrics

If I cannot see you from afar
Look into your eyes, that hint of depth
Hidden inside

If I cannot hear you from afar
Whisper in my ear, rest assured that
You are near

And I know not what it's like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
Just to love you
From afar

If I cannot kiss you from afar
Press against your lips, taste the sweetness
Of your breath

If I cannot touch you from afar
Hold you in my arms, keep you warm and
Safe from harm

Though our circumstances
Cause separation
In the absence, there's a presence in my heart
I will surrender, I'll surrender to my
Quiet contemplation
My quiet contemplation
I'll just, I'll just love you
From afar

There must be a better way (ooo-oooh)
A better way (ooo-oooh) of, of passing the time 
I can't seem to get her out
Out of my
Get her out of my mind

(Guitar Solo)

I don't know what it's like
The aforementioned
For the distance between us
As are the stars, I only have you
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination
In my imagination

Just to love you
Just to love you
Just to love you
