Chorus: GAm Fill me up fill me up DG I'm a long way from home GAmD And I don't have a lot to say GAm Fill me up fill me up DG Cause you're all that I've got GAmG And I traveled a long, long way
GAm Cheer me up cheer me up DG Cause I'm all alone GAmD And I'm taking it day by day GAm Cheer me up cheer me up DG Cause you're all that I've got GAmG And I traveled a long, long way
I'm a bellhop now on a busy day And I'm starting at sunrise And the color of dawn from this plane that I'm on Is the day breaking in your eyes
I'm a still life now on a tabletop I'm a case study in French blue And it's clear to me now that the whole of my life I've been making my way to you
Bridge: Am And I know where you live Em And I know who you are Am So don't get too close C And don't go too far
Well I might be alright If I just see the light I don't care if the phone don't ring And I'll know when it's right like a voice in the night And the right shade of tangerine
GAm Fill me up fill me up DG I'm a long way from home GAmD And I don't have a lot to say GAm Fill me up fill me up DG Cause you're all that I've got GAmG And I traveled a long, long way
GAm Cheer me up cheer me up DG Cause I'm all alone GAmD And I'm taking it day by day GAm Cheer me up cheer me up DG Cause you're all that I've got GAmG And I traveled a long, long way
Am And I know where you live Em And I know who you are Am So don't get too close C And don't go too far Don't get too close And promise me that you'll never go too far Never go too far
GAm Fill me up fill me up DG I'm a long way from home GAmD And I don't have a lot to say GAm Fill me up fill me up DG Cause you're all that I've got GAmG And I traveled a long, long way
GAm Cheer me up cheer me up DG Cause I'm all alone GAmD And I'm taking it day by day GAm Cheer me up cheer me up DG Cause you're all that I've got GAmG And I traveled a long, long way
