Keep Your Distance

CAPO 2nd Fret
 
INTRO
D  G  D  G

     D
If I cross your path again
                           G
Who knows where, who knows when
        D               A
On some morning without number
        G               A
On some highway without end
      D
Don't grasp my hand and say
                           G
Fate has brought us here today
    D            A               G       A  D
Oh, fate is only fooling with us friend

          G                   D
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Bm              A                G            A
When I feel you close to me what can I do but fall
          G                   D         G
Keep your distance, keep your distance
         D             A              G    A  D
For with us it must be all or none at all


[Instrumental - repeat of last line of chorus]
D  A  G  A  D

It's a desperate game we play
                            G
Throw our souls, our lives away
   D                    A
On wounds that can't be mended
    G                   A
And debts that can't be paid
       D
Well I played and I got stung
                       G
Now I'm biting back my tongue
    D                A                  G        A  D
And sweeping out the footprints where I strayed

          G                   D
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Bm              A                G            A
When I feel you close to me what can I do but fall
          G                   D         G
Keep your distance, keep your distance
         D             A              G    A  D
For with us it must be all or none at all

          G                   D
Keep your distance, keep your distance
Bm              A                G            A
When I feel you close to me what can I do but fall
          G                   D         G
Keep your distance, keep your distance
         D             A              G    A  D
For with us it must be all or none at all
                       A              G    A  D
For with us it must be all or none at all
