(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
