     E                           F#m
This airplane is a ribbon, with a bird at either end
         A                B               E
and it's featherlight and floating in the wind.
       E                                  F#m
And it seems there's no direction, gentle push from gentle hands
      A              B                  E
and I have no way of knowing where I'll land.
         
         A         B          C#m           A           B      C#m
And I'll take that long drive down to spend two months in your town,

But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around.

         E                           F#m
And I've seen a drunken poet spilling verses on the bar.
           A                 B             E
I wish I remembered them, so beautiful and so dark.
      E                                    F#m
And I watched that moment flicker, as they vanished in the air
         A                   B              E
right in front of me, but he didn't seem to care.

         A         B          C#m           A           B       C#m
And I'll take that long drive down to spend two months in your town,
        A                    B               C#m
But I'm scared to death that I won't see you around.
          A  B         C#m              A         B        C#m
If you're anything like me, then you'll pack your bags and leave
          A                   B            C#m
Cause you know that you'll be going eventually.

                       A         B
And don't say it isn't bad enough
                          C#m
that I'm the only one who cares about this stuff,
      A                 B             C#m
cause we both know that I won't go without you.
                        A          B
And don't say it wasn't good enough
                          C#m
cause these lonely couple years have been too rough,
    A                 B             C#m
and we both know that I won't go without you.
