Standing in that silent hall waiting for that final call
                          G7
Says he doesn't love me anymore
 
Shaking hands I pack a bag trembling voice I call a cab
                              C
Slowly I start walking to the door
 
 
The cab arrives he blows his horn I stumble out in the early morn
                                G7
Tell him of a place I've got to go
 
Hit a hundred signal lights theater belts in a traffic fight
                                        C
Getting through these doors has been so slow
 
C7                F       G7                         C
L A International Airport  where the big jet engines roar
                  Dm       G7                 C
L A International Airport  I won't see him anymore
 
 
A stewardess in a miniskirt a hippie in a leather shirt
                               G7
A starlet on the way to Naples Rome
 
While I'm wondering where it's at I see a Paris diplomat
                                    G7
College kids are trying to get back home
 
 
Baggage car goes quickly by see my case and I start to cry
                            G7
Stumble to the lounge to be alone
 
And while I'm trying to get some rest I bite my lips and try my best
                                         C
To fight the pain that's making me leave home
 
repeat #3
 
With silver wings across the sky vapor trails that wave goodbye
                                     G7
To those below who've got to stay at home
 
I wish that I had flown at night so I could take that champagne flight
                           C
Rid myself of every tear I own

 
Soaring high above the heavens in a 747 
                                      G7
Fighting back the tears that curse my eyes
                                                     
Captain's voice so load and clear amplifies into my ear
                                C
Assuring me I'm flying friendly skies
 
repeat #3
