Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Far from Me: chords

C                    Dm
For you dear, I was born
C                    Dm
For you I was raised up
C                          Dm
For you I've lived and for you I will die
                    C Dm
For you I am dying now
F                       G
You were my mad little lover
      F
In a world where everybody
            G
fucks everybody else over

Chorus:
               Dm         G
You who are so far from me
    Dm        G
So far from me
Em               F             G
Way across some cold neurotic sea
C          Dm
Far from me

I would talk to you of all matter of things
With a smile you would reply
Then the sun would leave your pretty face
And you'd retreat from the front of your eyes
I keep hearing that you're doing best
I hope your heart beats happy
in your infant breast

Chorus:
You are so far from me
Far from me
Far from me

There is no knowledge but I know it
There's nothing to learn from that vacant voice
That sails to me across the line
From the ridiculous to the sublime
It's good to hear you're doing so well
But really can't you find somebody
else that you can ring and tell

Chorus:
Did you ever
Care for me?
Were you ever
There for me?
So far from me

You told me you'd stick by me
Through the thick and through the thin
Those were your very words
My fair-weather friend
You were my brave-hearted lover
At the first taste of trouble
went running back to mother

Chorus:
So far from me
Far from me
Suspended in your bleak and fishless sea
Far from me
Far from me
