Intro: CDm7FCGF
CG/BF/AC I'm working on a morning flight to an-y-where to here G/BF/AF I'm watching this even-ing fire burn a-way my tears CG/BF/AC All my life I've left my troubles by the door G/BF/AF This leavin' is all I've ever known before
Chorus CDm7Em7Dm7 It's not the way you hold me when the sun goes down CDm7FG7 It's not the way you call my name, that left me stranded on the ground CDm7FCF It's not the way you say you hear my heart when the music ends CGFC I am just learning how to fly away again Dm7FC It's not the way you say you hear my heart when the music ends GFC I am just learning how to fly away again
And maybe you were thinking that you thought you knew me well But no one ever knows the heart of anyone else And I feel like Garbo in this Late Night Grande Hotel 'Cause living alone is all I've ever done well
