INTRO

(X 2)

G          Em       Riff1
  Another perfect day
G           Em       Riff2
  They keep piling up
G       Em      Riff1     C
  I got happiness that I can maintain
        D
  Some beginners luck
 
G        Em         Riff1  
  I had shoes to fill
G          Em         Riff2 
  Walking barefoot now
G             Em        Riff1
  Can't tell North from South
      C                 D                          
  But no split hair is going to get me down

C                        Em
  I'm staying above the flat-line
C                   G
  I'm ahead of the curve
C                      G
  Take a piece of the sunshine with me
        C                D
  On a red-eye flight to another world

C               Em
  It isn't any trouble
C                          G
  If you want to come with me
C                         G
  I know it's out of the question honey
         C              D
  But I sure could use the company
          C      G   Em   Riff1   G   Em   Riff2  
  And a place to be

G          Em        Riff1     
  Now the sky is pink
G          Em        Riff2     
  Rooftop swimming pool
G         Em        Riff1     C
  I'm not carefree, no, I'm free to care
          D        
  I just never do
G          Em            Riff1     
  All the bags are checked
G          Em      Riff2          
  And the reasons why
G            Em         
  Yesterday lingers on
              C                       D
  That's the piece you keep when you say goodbye

C                       Em
  You can get what you want now
C                      G
  Knock it out of the park
C                 G
  Bury it by the river, easy
             C                     D
  There's a search party but it's getting dark

C                      Em
  I won't hold you to nothing
C                       G
  I want to make that plain
C                      G
  Probably end up a stranger and crazy
            C                  D
  But I'm still hoping there's another way
          C        G   Em   G   C
  And a place to stay

Em       Bm        C        D    G
  What a scene has got you sentimental
Em                C                                         
  when the night comes 
                        G
  When the night comes loose
Em         Bm         C     D       G 
  All the things you put up on the mantle
           C
  What a shame, what a shame
            D
  It's old news

C                        Em
  I'm staying above the flat-line
C                   G
  I'm ahead of the curve
C                      G
  Take a piece of the sunshine with me
        C                D
  On a red-eye flight to another world

C                      Em
  You can get what you want now
C                      G
  Knock it out of the park
C                     G
  Probably end up a drifter and lonely
            C                  D
  But I'm still hoping for a change of heart
          C
  And a place, a place, a place 
       G (INTRO)
