A Thousand Miles Away

A                                     D
Estimated time of arrival nine thirty AM
     A                                                   D
Been up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even begin
E              F#m                Bm7              E
(Now you're flying) I got so much work in front of me
E          F#m                       Bm7            A
(Really flying) It stretches out far as the eye can see
A     D
I can see

A                                                                D
Spent half my life in airports doing crosswords or attempting to sleep
    A                                                        D
And when the bar is open then you'll often find me warming a seat
E              F#m                 Bm7               E
(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can stay
E          F#m                  Bm7             A
(Really flying) I'd rather be a thousand miles away
A                 D       A         D
A thousand miles away

Working for yourself sometimes ain't all that it's cracked up to be
             A                                                    D
It can be as lonely at the top as at the bottom of that corporate tree
E              F#m                     Bm7            E
(Now you're flying) I'm told I'm going places who can say
E          F#m                             Bm7                A
(Really flying) I might arrive but I'll be gone the very next day
A               D
I must be on my way,
A                 D
a thousand miles away

A                                                              D
I promise to myself someday I'll take the time and try to make sense
       A                                                          D
Out of all those opportunities I've lost I'm trying to sit on the fence
E           F#m                        Bm7            E
(Now you're flying) Right now I got no time for yesterday
E          F#m                Bm7             A
(Really flying) Yesterday's a thousand miles away,
                  D                      A
a thousand miles away (a thousand miles away)
                  D                      E
a thousand miles away (a thousand miles away)
E              F#m                Bm7                E
(Now you're flying) What was that you were trying to say
F#m             Bm7             A    E   A   D            A    D
I guess I was a thousand miles away, hey hey hey, hey hey hey, yeah
D                A
A thousand miles away
A            D                   A
Sing it again, a thousand miles away
A            D                   A
Sing it again, a thousand miles away
A            D                   A
Sing it again, a thousand miles away
