xThe Thing About Distance
*NOTE this is the version off of a compilation called Mile put together by Hush, it's
quite the same as the version on The Thrill of the Hunt.
The rhythm's pretty easy to get down, just play it as you hear. I'm not positive about
chord names, so i wrote how it's played on guitar.

are below.
