Saw a request for this the other day so I thought I'd give it a try.
No guarantees since I figured it out by ear, but comments and corrections are

 		  	DISTANT SUN

Crowded House					from "Together Alone"


* capo 1st fret *


Intro: D G  D G  D G  D G

D                                      G
Tell me all the things you would change
  D                                  G
I don't pretend to know what you want
         Bm                          E
When you come around and (spin my top??)
              G               F#
Time and again, time and again

     D                      G
No fire where I lit my spark
D                          G
I am not afraid of the dark
       Bm                       E
Where your words devour my heart
                   G
And put me to shame, put me to shame


Chorus:

    A                  Em
Your seven worlds collide
     G         A          D
Whenever I am by your side
   A                   Em
Dust from a distant sun
       G          A      D  G  D  G
Will shower over everyone


You're still so young to travel so far
Old enough to know who you are
Wise enough to carry the scars
Without any blame, there's no-one to blame

It's easy to forget what you learnt
Waiting for the thrill to return
Feeling your desire burn
And drawn to the flame



Dust from a distant sun
        G          A
Will shower over everyone

         Bm           A     G                     A Bm
And I'm lying on the table washed out in the flood
       A                 G                   A
Like a Christian fearing vengeance from above
   Bm              A             G
I don't pretend to know what you want
                   A
But (I offer love?)

  A Em G A D   A Em G A D

Seven worlds will collide
Whenever I am by your side
Dust from a distant sun
       G          A      D  F#  G
Will shower over everyone
            Bm  F#  G
As time slips by ...
            D   F#  G
            Bm  F#  G
