[Verse]
F A# C
You don’t know if it’s hello or goodbye
F A# C
What kind of tears they are when they get cried
A#
All you know is somebody is coming or leaving
C
It don’t really matter whatever the reason
F A# C
Something about them gets me every time
[Chorus]
F Dm
Kisses at airports, wide-open car doors
A# C
So slow to let go, wrapped up with eyes closed
F Dm
Some mean "I missed you," some mean "I’m going to"
A# C
But somehow they mean more, kisses at airports
[Verse]
F A# C
There was a crayon cardboard "Welcome home, Daddy" sign
F A# C
When he got the deployed, she was just two pink lines
A#
And now it’s sunburned lips on ten little fingers
C
And one for her mama, yeah, that one lingers
F A# C
I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only one at baggage claim to cry
[Chorus]
F Dm
Kisses at airports, thanking the good Lord
A# C
You didn’t die out there without seeing that curly red hair
F Dm
And that’s why you hang on and that’s how you make it home
A# C
Got something to live for, kisses at airports
[Bridge]
A#
When you dropped me off, I was running late
C
I just grabbed my bags and ran to the gate
A#
But what if I had never landed
C
How many times do we take for granted?
[Outro]
F Dm
Kisses at airports, wide-open car doors
A# C
No I don’t want to let go, I just want to make sure you know
F Dm
This one means I miss you, this one means I’m going to
A# C
Make every one I give you, baby, be a little more
F Dm F
Like kisses at airports. Like kisses at airports
