This airplane is a ribbon, with a bird at either end
A B E
and it's featherlight and floating in the wind.
E F#m
And it seems there's no direction, gentle push from gentle hands
A B E
and I have no way of knowing where I'll land.
A B C#m A B C#m
And I'll take that long drive down to spend two months in your town,
But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around.
E F#m
And I've seen a drunken poet spilling verses on the bar.
A B E
I wish I remembered them, so beautiful and so dark.
E F#m
And I watched that moment flicker, as they vanished in the air
A B E
right in front of me, but he didn't seem to care.
A B C#m A B C#m
And I'll take that long drive down to spend two months in your town,
A B C#m
But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around.
A B C#m A B C#m
If you're anything like me, then you'll pack your bags and leave
A B C#m
Cause you know that you'll be going eventually.
A B
And don't say it isn't bad enough
C#m
that I'm the only one who cares about this stuff,
A B C#m
cause we both know that I won't go without you.
A B
And don't say it wasn't good enough
C#m
cause these lonely couple years have been too rough,
A B C#m
and we both know that I won't go without you.
