[Verse 1]
C7                       F
Nothing's gonna stop you now
                       Dm             C
Everything you want is coming in good time
C7                       F
No one's gonna bring you down
              Dm          C
It's just too hard to find
  C7                       F
I keep your note beside my bed
                       Dm              C
It gets me through the longest of long nights
  C7                        F
I keep this dream inside my head
                    Dm              C
It's simple but without it, I would die


[Chorus]
            G
I'll let it sweeten the distance
F
Sweeten the distance
G
Sweeten the distance
F
Sweeten the distance
        Em     Dm
Between me and you
        C
If it's alright

[Verse 2]
C7                          F
What's the sense in looking back
                   Dm             C
And remember how I wasted so much time
C7                         F
Nothing's gonna change the facts
                 Dm         C
And it's far too late to cry
C7                F
Love may tear us apart
                     Dm         C
But it's never gonna leave us behind
  C7                        F
I keep this dream inside my head
                    Dm              C
It's simple but without it, I would die
    Dm              C
Without it, I would die


[Chorus]
            G
I'll let it sweeten the distance
F
Sweeten the distance
G
Sweeten the distance
F
Sweeten the distance
        Em     Dm
Between me and you


[Bridge]
       Am
It's a long ride
       F
It's a long ride
       Am
It's a long ride
       F
It's a long ride
       Am   F   Am  F
It's a long ride
           Am  F  Em  Dm
So give it time

[Verse 3]
  C7                    F
I hope I didn't let you down
                   Dm             C
God knows I did my very best this time
   C7                 F
So if you can hear me now
             Dm         C
It's not too late to try
   C7                       F
So when you're feeling far away
            Dm        C
And wanting much to rewind
     C7              F
It's just a dream anyway
              Dm               C
So simple without it, we would die
    Dm               C
Without it, we would die


[Chorus]
            G
I'll let it sweeten the distance
F
Sweeten the distance
G
Sweeten the distance
F
Sweeten the distance
       G
Let it sweeten the distance
F
Sweeten the distance
        Em     Dm
Between me and you
       C7       C7
It's a long ride

[Interlude]
           C7  C7  C7  C7
So give it time
       C7       C7       C7        C7
It's a long ride (it's a long ride)
       C7                   C7  C7  C7
It's a long ride so give it time
