Verse 1
   
F#7add4  Em A       D/F#   
Over the airwaves tonight, 
F#7add4      Em   A       D/F#
Sailing by a love lonely light, 
F#7add4  Em        A#o7     Bm  
Isn't it blue, but isn't it brighter 
         Bm/A                G     F#7add4        
Than the pilot of a domestic flight 

Verse 2
                Em   A      D/F#   
Well under this low, lonely light 
F#7add4    Em    A  D/F#
I might be still in sight, 
F#7add4    Em    A#o7         Bm  
You were a girl, now you're a wife 
             Bm/A
Do not these memories stir you 
          G                 A
From your long and peaceful night's

A            D  Bm G  
Asleep in perfection 
  A#o7   Em      A#o7 Bm             G 
A soul's misdirection,   directed at you. 
          F#7add4   
Yeah yeah yeah 

Verse

            Em A      D/F#             
Waiting for Summer to come, 
     F#7add4    Em  A   D/F#
Will you wear a rainbow on 
    F#7add       Em A#o7 Bm  
And outside your window something grows 
        Bm/A          G    
In your garden, is it content 
            F#7add4    Em   A D/F#  
Well that's not what I need tonight, 
F#7add4 Em    A     D/F#  
Maybe I don't think right, 
   F#7add4 Em    A#o7   Bm  
Or maybe I lack that insight 
             Bm/A                 A
And only the numb or the peaceful might 

Chorus

A            D  Bm G

  A#o7   Em      A#o7 Bm             G 
A soul's misdirection,   directed at you 
          F#7add4   
Yeah yeah yeah
