(try capoing up 3)



G			 D Am			G	D



Plane comes down on the old runway, home again for a week I'll stay



G		D		Am			G	 D



Hanging out like I used to do, hope to find some old friends I knew



G			D	Am			 G	 D



Hear the news in the honky tonk, who got married, yes, and who split up G	



		D		Am		G	 D



Drinking beer while the jukebox plays, brand new songs for brand new days



C			G	D		Am



Quiet nights and empty streets, sleepy town, humble home



C			G			D



Same old waltz in the wind, by the railroad track



G		D		Am		G		D



Riding out to a country bridge, moonlight shining across the ridge



G			D		Am		G



Frozen trees neath a billion stars, 7 friends jammed in Robby's car



C			 G	D		 Am



High as kites and wild and gone, drunk as well and laughing loud



C		 G				D



Back at home I say good night (Good night) and I close the door



G		D			Am			G



Sunday morning the church bell rings, the organ plays and the choir



D	G			D		Am



sings. Where am I while the preacher speaks? Dreaming dreams neath



	G	D



my sheets asleep



C				G	D	Am		C



Waking up and trying to think, what went down, what'd we do? I rub



			G		D



my eyes and I shake my head and feel the sun



G			D	 Am			G



Plane takes off on the old runway, snow fell light on the ground 



 D G DAm G



today Lost an hour that I gained before, headed back to my New York



 D G	 D Am 		D



door. fare thee well, adios, adieu and best of luck to all of you I



G			D Am 



ain't no saint and I don't pretend to be, but I hope you all found a G	



	D



friend in me



C			G DAm



City lights blink and shine, down below, let it change



C				G		D



It's often said that life is strange, oh yes, but compared to what?







(yeah) GD Am
