G          C                  Am          C    G         C              Am   C
The second hand counts out my thoughts of you, and every heartbeat says your name,
G             C          Am         C
But you don't know me and the way I feel,
D             C              D             C
But still the truth remains, my blood runs through your veins.


D         Em                 C              G
How can I hold you close when you're so far away?
D        Em               C
How long will we still be apart?
D            Em              C               G
How will you ever hear these words I want to say?
Am           C             Am
How will you ever know my heart?
             C             G
How will you ever know my heart?


G           C              Am    C    G      C            Am    C
I'm writing letters to you every day, then I mail them to myself,
C         C                  Am       C                   
And here, inside a box, they wait for you, 
D         C                  D             C
and every day is postmarked, I've held you here in my heart.



D         Em                 C              G
How can I hold you close when you're so far away?
D        Em               C
How long will we still be apart?
D            Em              C                G
How will you ever hear these words I want to say?
Am           C              Am
How will you ever know my heart?
             C              G
How will you ever know my heart?
Am           F                       G       F      G          F

Down in the ashes of mistakes and dreams, I see the outline of a he--------art,
G               C                  Am        C
Well, I've gone wrong, but still I know sometimes
D              C            D            C
God serves the best wine up right from a paper cup.


D         Em                 C              G
How can I hold you close when you're so far away?

Someday you're gonna know my heart,

Someday you're gonna know my heart,

Someday you'll know my he-----art
C      Am      C        G        C     Am      C
