Social Distance

A COVID-era remake of Distance by Christina Perri, dedicated to all those fortunate enough to be working remotely. And to my friends on CouncilOne.

C Am7 C
I am firing up the Zoom,
Am7 C
I hear your kitty screaming.
Am7 Em
Can you see the screen I’m sharing
G C
Right now?
Am7 C
The dial-in worked on try fifteen,
Am7 C
Can’t wait to talk with all of you
Am7 Em G
Only social contact that I get, cause I have to…

Chorus:
Fadd9
Make sure to keep my distance
G
Turn on my video, curse my appearance.
Am G
How long can we keep this up?

C, Am7

Verse:
C Am7 C
Shoppers don’t stand close to me,
Am7 C
I can hear you wheezing.
Am7 Em
Can’t wait to get back to my house
G C
right now.
C Am7 C
I’ll mask it up when I’m inside,
Am7 C
Makes me badass, and you safer.
Am7 Em
Caution helps us turn the tide.
G
So I will

Chorus:
Fadd9
Make sure to keep my distance
G
Turn off my video, save the bandwidth.
Am G
How long can we keep this up?

Bridge:
Am F
And I keep waiting
C
For the Pulse Secure connection.
E
And you keep waiting

To see my screen share!

Chorus:
F
Make sure to keep my distance
G
Through our online co-existence.
Am7 G
How long can we keep this up?

Chorus:
F
Make sure to keep my distance
G
All it takes is perseverance.
Am G
Some patience (and maybe wine) will lift our spirits up!
