Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I sit alone in my bedroom, staring at the walls
I've been up all damn nightlong
My pulse is speeding, my love is yearning

[Chorus]
I hold my breath and close my eyes
And dream about her...
Cause she's 2000 light years away
She holds my malachite so tight so
Never let go...
Cause she's 2000 light years away

[Verse 2]
I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Lookout as far as I can
I can't see her, but in the distance
I hear some laughter, we laugh together

[Chorus]
[Verse 1]
[Chorus]

Green Day - 2000 Light Years Away
Album: Kerplunk

An utter classic by Green Day in the early years (which is much better than
their american idiot crap), easy to play too.

Tuning: although it can be played in standard, it's best to
tune down 1/2 step

() - represents less dominant notes
pm - palm mute
x - scratched/not played

chord reference:
Bb- x244xx
G- 466xxx
F- 244xxx
Eb- 022xxx
* the rhythm is just Bb to G to F
