One Thousand Miles Away
[A]Estimated time of arrival 9.30 a[D].m.
Been [A]up before the sun and now I'm tired before I even be[D]gin
[E](Now you're flying) [F#m7]I got so much [Bm7]work in front of [E]me,
(Really flying) it [F#m7]stretches out far [Bm7]as the eye can [A]see[E][A]
I [E]can [D]see[A][D][A][D/F#]
Spend half my life in airports doing crosswords and attempting to sleep
And when the bar is open then you'll often find me warming a seat
(Now you're flying) I never find a place where I can stay
(Really flying) I'd rather be a thousand miles away
Thousand miles away

[A]Working for yourself [E]some[A]times ain't all that it's cracked [E]up to [D]be[A][D][A][D/F#]
It can be as [A]lonely at the top [E]as at the [A]bottom of that corp[E]orate [D]tre[A]e[D][A][D/F#]
[E](Now you're flying) I'm [F#m7]told I'm going [Bm7]places - who can [E]say?
(Really flying) [F#m7]I might arrive but I'll be [Bm7]gone the very next [A]day[E][A]
I must be on [E]my [D]way[A][D][A][D/F#][A][E][A]
A thousand [E]miles [D]away[A][D][A][D/F#]

Promised to myself someday I'd take the time and try to make sense
Out of all those opportunities I've lost from trying to sit on the fence
(Now you're flying) But right now I've got no time for yesterday
(Really flying) Yesterday's a thousand miles away
A thousand miles away
What was that that you were trying to say?
I guess I was a thousand miles away
Sing it again
