Gm Em A#m Dm
Gm Am
You know, when you're in love and your lover leaves you
Gm
And you've got nobody, the lonely hours over here
Am A#m B
Sittin' home and thinkin', you say:
[Verse]

Distant lover (lover, lover, lover)
C#m
Ooh, So many miles away

Oh, how I long for you

Every night, and sometimes I yearn through the day

Please, oh please baby, think about me sometime
B
Think about me, yeah, in misery
E
Oh, say it baby
[Bridge]
Am
As I reminisce our joyful summer together
Am
The promises we made of a daily letter
B
Then all of a sudden everything seemed to explode

Now I gaze out my window down that lonesome road
[Verse]

Distant lover (lover, lover, lover)
C#m
How can you treat my heart so mean and cruel?
F#m
Didn't you know, sugar, that every moment
B
That I spend with you I treasure it like it was (a) precious jewel
E
Oh baby (Lord, have mercy)
