Intro
[G]
Verse
[G]Plane comes down on the [D]old [Dsus2]runway,
[Am]home again for a [G]week I'll stay[G4]
[G]Hanging out like I [D]used [Dsus4]to do,
[Am]hope to find some old [G]friends I knew[G4]
[G]Hear the news in the [D][Dsus2-D]honky tonk,
[Am]who got married, yes, and [G]who split up[G4]
[G]Drinking beer while the [D][Dsus4-D]jukebox plays,
[Am]brand new songs [G]for brand new days[G4]
[Cm]Quiet nights and empty [G]streets, sleepy [Am]town, humble [D]home[Dsus2-D]
[Cm]Same old waltz in the [G]wind, by the railroad [Am][D]track[Dsus4-D]
Verse
[G]Riding out to a [D]country bridge,
[Am]moonlight shining [G]across the ridge[G4]
[G]Frozen trees neath a [D]billion stars,
[Am]seven friends jammed in [G]Robby's car[G4]
[Cm]High as kites and wild and [G]gone, .....drunk as [Am]well and laughing [D]loud
[Dsus2-D]
[Cm]Back at home I say good [G]night (Good night) and I close the[Am] door[D]
[Dsus4-D]
[G]Sunday morning the [D]church bell rings,
[Am]the organ plays and the [G]choir sings.[G4]
[G]Where am I while the [D]preacher speaks?
[Am]Dreaming dreams neath My[G] sheets asleep[G4]
[Cm]Waking up and trying to [G]think, what went [Am]down, Yeah what'd we do?[D]
[Dsus2-D]
[Cm]I rub My eyes and I shake my [G]head and feel the [Am]sun[Dsus4-D][D]
Verse
[G]Plane takes off on the old [D]runway,
[Am]snow fell light on the [G]ground today[D]
[G]Lost an hour that I [D]gained before,
[Am]headed back to my [G]New York door.[D]
[G]Fare-thee well, [D]adios, adieu and
[Am]best of luck to all[G] of you.[D]
[G]I Ain't no saint and I don't [D]pretend to be,
[Am]but I hope you all found a [G]friend in me
[Cm]City lights blink and [G]shine, down below, [Am]let it [D]change[Dsus2-D]
[Cm]It's often said that life is [G]strange, oh yes, but compared to[Am] what?
[D][Dsus4-D](yeah)
