Intro
[Dm] [A] [Dm]
Verse
[Dm]This hotel bar is full of [F]people,
[Dm]The piano man is really laying it [F]down,
[Dm]Even the old bartender is as high as[F] a steeple,
[Bb]So why [A7]tonight should I wear a frown?
[Dm]
Verse
[Dm]The joint is jumpin' all around me, [F]
[Dm]And my mood is really not at style,[F]
[Dm]Right now the blues want to surround[F] me,
[Bb]But I'll [A7]break out after a [Dm]while.
Chorus
Well I'm a[F] million miles away,
I'm a [Dm]million miles away,
[Bb]I'm sailing like a [A7]driftwood,
On a [Dm]windy bay,
I'm a [F]million miles away,
I'm a [Dm]million miles away,
[Bb]But I'm sailing like a [A7]driftwood,
On a [Dm]windy bay,
Verse
[Gm]Why ask how I feel,
[C]Well, how does it look to you?
[Am]I fell hook, line, and sinker,
Lost my [Dm]captain and my crew.
[Dm]
Verse
[Gm]I'm standing on the landing,
[C]There's no one there but me,
[Am]That's where you'll see me,
[Gm]Looking out on the deep blue sea.
[C] [Dm] [Em] [F] [Em] [Dm]
Verse
[Dm]There's a song on the lips of [F]everybody,
[Dm]There's a smile all around the [F]room,
[Dm]There's conversation [F]overflowing,
[Bb]So why must I [A7]sit here with the blues.
[Dm]
Verse
[Dm]This hotel bar has lost its [F]people,
[Dm]The piano man has caught the last [F]bus home
[Dm]The old bartender just collapsed in [F]the corner,
[Bb]Why I'm still [A7]here, I just don't [Dm]know,
Chorus
I'm a [F]million miles away,
A [Dm]million miles away,
[Bb]I'm sailing like a [A7]driftwood on a [Dm]windy bay,
I'm a [F]million miles away,
A [Dm]million miles away,
[Bb]I'm sailing like a [A7]driftwood on a [Dm]windy bay,
