[Intro]
C DM G7 C
[Verse 1]
CStanding in the silent hall waitin' for the final call
Says he doesn't love me G7anymore
Shaking hands I pack a bag, trembling voice I call a cab
Slowly I start walking to the Cdoor
The cab arrives he blows his horn, I stumble at in the early morn
Tell him of the place I've got to G7go
Passed a hundred signal lights, paid the bills and a traffic fine
Gettin' through these doors that's been so Cslow
[Chorus]
C7LA International FAirport G7where the big jet engines Croar
LA International DMAirport I G7won't see him anyCmore
[Verse 2]
CThe stewardess in a miniskirt, a hippie in a leather shirt
I started on the way to Naples G7Rome
G7While I'm wondering where it's at, I see a Paris diplomat
Call his kids while trying to get back Chome
Baggage car goes quickly by, I see my case and start to cry
Stumble to the lounge to be G7alone
And while I'm trying to get some rest, I bite my lips and try my best
To fight the pain that's making me leave Chome
[Chorus]
C7LA International FAirport G7where the big jet engines Croar
LA International DMAirport I G7won't see him anyCmore
[Verse 3]
CWith silver wings across the sky paper trails and wave goodbye
To those below who've got to stay at G7home
G7I wish that I had flown at night so I could take that champagne flight
Rid myself of every tear I Cown
CSoaring high above the heavens in a 747 fighting back the tears that curse my eyes
Captain's voice so loud and clear amplifies into my G7ear
Assuring me I'm flying friendly Cskies
[Chorus]
C7LA International FAirport G7where the big jet engines Croar
LA International DMAirport I G7won't see him anyCmore
[Fade out....]
