They're in the fAmront seat, Am/G he's got the Fmaj7radio low, And the mAmoon hangs over IdAm/Glewild as the Fmaj7planes touch down, He is taAmlking, Am/G she's not liFmaj7stening, She is tAmhinking of her fAm/Gather, whoFmaj7 died when she was young!
| Am / / Am/G / / |Fmaj7 / / / / | I'm in the bAmack seat, Am/G they think I'm sFmaj7leeping, But I am lisAmtening for the Am/Gcracks between their vFmaj7oices, in the dark, We are a faAmmily, Am/G we are a shFmaj7ipwreck, Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am Am/G Fmaj7 And we are picking up my Grandma, who is getting... very old!
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!
| Am / / Am/G / / |Fmaj7 / / / / | They built this aiAmrport, Am/G but in aFmaj7 few years... ...They'll nAmame it after KAm/Gennedy, theFmaj7 one who died today, And he will leAmave her, Am/G and she will Fmaj7suffer, Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am Am/G Fmaj7 And they will never really know each other... at---- all!
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! Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am Am/G Fmaj7 OO---, ooo----! | / / / / | / / / / |
We shoot our roAmckets, Am/G we shoot our prFmaj7esidents, We shoot the coAmmmies, and the nAm/G*****s, and the Fmaj7Viet Cong, Everything chAmanges, Am/G everything Fmaj7stays the same, Am Am/G Fmaj7 Am Am/G Fmaj7 And the moon hangs over Idlewild as the planes... touch----- down!
