C
Am
Dm
G
I'm
C
rolling down the runway,
Am
early evening
Monday
Dm
I'm going to
G
Atlanta to catch another flight
C
Am
I am heading up north, back to
New
York
Dm
And if all goes well,
G
I'll be getting in the middle of the night
C
The sun is slowly sinking,
Am
the runway lights are blinking
Dm
We're picking up speed,
the wheels are lifting off the ground
G
C
Am
Oh, there's no denying the
thrill I still feel in flying
G
Wilbur sure turn things upside down
F
I have travelled all these miles,
C
A
observing life here on the isle.
Dm
I've talked to lots of strangers,
G
sometimes they don't talk back.
F
But the two beside me are having a fine time,
C
A
Dm
toasting each other with white wine.
Her name is
G
Wanda, his name is
C
Jack.
Now I ask, what's the occasion
Am
for the celebration?
Dm
And they say it's the anniversary
G
of the day they met
C
So of course now I am wondering,
Am
how long has that been?
Dm
But before I can ask,
Wanda leans over and says,
G
Okay, honey, try to guess
C
Well, this is kinda tricky
Am
They're at least in their late sixties
Dm
So I'm thinking 30 years
or 40 years together
G
Is what I want to say
But
C
Jack raises his plastic glass and says,
Am
Who knew time could zoom by this fast?
Dm
G
C
We're toasting to 172 months today.
F
So I do the math in my head,
C
A
Calculate what he's just said,
Dm
But why not 14 years and 4 months?
G
F
And so I ask him why, and he says,
C
I just could not wait for a year to pass
Dm
G
Wanda leans over and says,
Neither could
C
I.
Atlanta.
C
They say goodbye to me.
A
We're off in search
of different gates and
Dm
different destinies.
G
C
I turned and watched them walk away,
Dm
A little old lady
G
C
Am
In love with a little old man
Dm
G
C
Dm
Am
Dm
G
C
The lights below are twinkling
Am
we're descending and I'm thinking nobody
Dm
G
is waiting for me at the gate but this
C
A
is the life I've chosen though sometimes
Am
Dm
I feel frozen in my indecision I keep
G
C
giving in to fate. I'm chugging through the airport,
Am
nothing is open at the phone
course.
Dm
Everyone's gone home except the
G
C
sky cabs and the girls and the all -night
Am
taxi drivers and one will get an extra fiver.
Dm
Vivi can help this sleepless
G
F
traveler get her baggage in the car. I do the math in my head,
C
think about what
Wanda said.
Dm
They celebrate their anniversary
G
as every month rolls by and
F
I'm crossing bridges and
I'm switching lanes
C
A
With one thought in my brain
Dm
Wanda, you're a lucky woman
G
C
Jack, you're a lucky guy
Am
Dm
G
Dm
C
you
