The verses are similar but not quite identical.

Bm                       A7sus4                    D/F#              Gmaj
First we lived in India - in winter it rains there every day

        Bm                    A7sus4      D              Gmaj
We were younger then, we were children in India

           Bm               A7sus4                 D/F#           Gmaj
There were signs and people we'd never understand

          Bm              A7sus4                   D/F#           Gmaj
You said, "hold my hand," and I held your hand

         Em     D/F# Gmaj      D/F#
There is one of me, and one of you

    Em        D/F#     A7sus4      D
and two of us with one hundred questions

Em           D/F#     Gmaj            Bm
Two thousand reasons, ten's a perfect number

Em     D/F#        Gmaj          A7sus4
Twenty thousand hearts full of hunger

Em     D/F#      Gmaj
Twenty thousand hearts

Then we're dancing in Geneva - it's New Year's Eve
and all the Americans were there
They said, "it's still last year in New York City"
you said, "New York where?"
I said "New York City - it's three thousand miles away"
You said "what's a mile?" - I said "It's far away"

CHORUS

Now you ask me to explain myself
and I tell you I need distance
You say, "To hell with distance, remember who you're talking to"
I say, "Closeness is too much for me"
and dismiss you with a smile
You say "Wish away the closeness - imagine it's a mile"

CHORUS
