Ivory Tower

G  D  C

[Chorus]

G  D                C
So close then again so far away
G     D
Where are the answers?
C
I hear them every day.
G           D
Loving at a distance
C
Didn’t make it anyway
Bb  Bbmaj7   Am             D
I      can’t reach her anymore.

[Verse 1]

    G           D     C
She lives in an ivory tower
  G      D              C
Enjoying her wealth and her power
G             D     D
Surrounded by empty dedicated people
Bb  Bbmaj7  Am      D
She doesn’t know anymore.

[Verse 2]
  G         D                  C
I loved her so I gave her my soul
   G          D              C
I didn’t have much else to give, heaven knows.
     G           D              C
She looked at it wondering what good it could do her
Bb  Bbmaj7   Am     D
She doesn’t know anymore.  Right on.

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

G       D     C
So many times she got burned.
G       D                 C
So many good lessons now, now to be learned
  G        D
A few more mistakes you know
     C
That she could be the smartest girl
Bb  Bbmaj7  Am            D
    In the world, nothing more.

[Bridge]

G      F              C
Just a little bit older
G                   F   C
My bed a little bit colder
    G           D
The treasure of our oneness
       C                       Bb
Became sand and there lay naked
Bbmaj7     Am          D
Before the wind was no more.

[Chorus]

G  D                C
So close then again so far away
G     D
Where are the answers?
C
I hear them every day.
G             D
Loving from a distance
C
Didn’t make it anyway
Bb  Bbmaj7
I…
