chorus:

A       D
51 feet away
   A                D
it hurts more every day
F#m        E       A       E
why do you have to make me stay
F#m  E    A
51   feet away?


verse:

F#m            E                F#m         E
i remember the week i spent with you --------ou
F#m                  E             F#m        E
thinking it was too good to be true------ue
    D             A                E
but now I'm gone, exiled from your life
  D                   A               E
I dreamt one day that you would be my wife
    Bm               A          F#m       E
but now my hopes are lost in my cries
Bm              A                   F#m        E
thinking of you with my hands in my thighs
Bm          F#m               E
why can't I peep through your blinds?
   D                 A        E
if you don't tell my PO won't mind


A       D
51 feet away
   A                D
I miss you more every day 
F#m        E       A       E
I don't understand why you make me stay 
F#m  E    A
51   feet away?


  F#m               E                          F#m        E
I can't believe you followed through with your threat
    F#m          E               F#m           E
you have to understand that it's not over yet
D             A         E
why won't you answer my calls?
D               A                     E
why'd you taser me those times at the mall?
Bm          A      F#m     E
am I really such a creep
Bm             A                 F#m      E
just because I need to watch you sleep?
  Bm               F#m               E
I try every day to get close to your heart
  D                  A            E
I guess for now that 51 feet is a start


A       D
51 feet away
      A             D
feels farther every day
   F#m      E              A       E
it hurts my heart when you make me stay
F#m  E    A
51   feet away


C#m                  Bm
who's this other guy kissing you?
D                  A
what gives him the right?
  C#m               Bm
I hate watching him touch you there
D                        A
why did you turn out the light?
  C#m                    Bm
I can't accept that it's over
D                         A
I know you still love me, too
Bm                          F#m
what are those moans coming from your room?
D                  A
what's he doing to you?


musical interlude (over chorus chords):
spoken:
why do you hate me?
why won't you date me?
why did you mace me?
how could you replace me?


     F#m            E             F#m        E
well I know I'm not really out of touch
     F#m         E           F#m         E
it's just that I love you so much
    D         A       E
but you don't seem to care if
   D              A         E
my best friend is the local sheriff
Bm                   A            F#m      E
please don't bump me even farther back
Bm                   A               F#m       E
please call off your dogs from their attack
Bm             F#m  E
but 51 feet is 17   yards
    D                A           E
and I just shot your fucking bodyguard


A       D
51 feet away
   A               D
is much too far to stay
F#m         E       A       E
why does it have to be this way?
  F#m     E       A
I want to see you today
  F#m     E       A
I need to see you today
    F#m     E     A
I'm already on my way
    F#m       E       A
I'm coming to see you today!
