[Verse 1]
Am Am/G Fmaj7
They're in the front seat, he's got the radio low,
Am Am/G Fmaj7
And the moon hangs over Idlewild as the planes touch down,
Am Am/G Fmaj7
He is talking, she's not listening,
Am Am/G Fmaj7
She is thinking of her father, who died when she was young!
[Verse 2]

| / / / / | / / / / |
Am Am/G Fmaj7
I'm in the back seat, they think I'm sleeping,
Am Am/G Fmaj7
But I am listening for the cracks between their voices, in the dark,
Am Am/G Fmaj7
We are a family, we are a shipwreck,
Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am Am/G Fmaj7
And we are picking up my Grandma, who is getting... very old!
[Verse 3]
Dm (F) Am
And they think she's dying, but I think she's laughing,
(Am/G) Dm (F) G
I think she's riding 'Halley's Comet', from Fort Lauderdale to here,
(G/B) Dm (F) Am (Am/G)
But when I see her, I'll keep her secret,
Dm (F) G Gsus4 G
We all have our secrets that we keep inside ourselves!
[Verse 4]
Am Am/G Fmaj7
| / / / / | / / / / |
Am Am/G Fmaj7
They built this airport, but in a few years...
Am Am/G Fmaj7
...They'll name it after Kennedy, the one who died today,
Am Am/G Fmaj7
And he will leave her, and she will suffer,
Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am Am/G Fmaj7
And they will never really know each other... at---- all!
[Verse 5]
Dm (F) Am
They think we're driving, but I know we're drifting,
(Am/G) Dm (F) G
They think we're off on some ad - venture, where the hero saves the day,
(G/B) Dm (F) Am
We think we're special, we think we're golden,
(Am/G) Dm (F) G Gsus4 G
We think we're walking on the moon, but we are dancing in the dark!
[Verse 6]
Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am Am/G Fmaj7
Oo---, ooo----! | / / / / | / / / / |
Am Am/G Fmaj7
We shoot our rockets, we shoot our presidents,
Am Am/G Fmaj7
We shoot the commies, and the n*****s, and the Viet Cong,
Am Am/G Fmaj7
Everything changes, everything stays the same,
Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am Am/G Fmaj7
And the moon hangs over Idlewild as the planes... touch----- down!
