Verse:
          Asus4Asus4          Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
Winding through the hills, southbound, look down and see the city
         Asus4Asus4     Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
I see a sign for sixty-five but I'm fine doing fifty
      E minor 7Em7
Cars flying by on the left
    Cadd9Cadd9
See my out-of-state plates
    G+G
And assume that explains my speed
    E minor 7Em7
Oh but they don't know the truth
    Em7/F#      G+G
That I don't want you to leave
  E minor 7Em7
I'm stretching out each mile
     Em7/F#          G+G
'Cause I don't want to let you leave

Verse:
       Asus4Asus4    Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
I'm savoring every last imperfect harmony
         Asus4Asus4        Cadd9Cadd9          G+G
We sing along to songs we've known so long, I let you take the lead
      E minor 7Em7
But can you hear it my voice
    Cadd9Cadd9
It's a waver, just a quaver,
   G+G
A augmentedA vibrato that I try to mean
      E minor 7Em7
Oh can you hear it in my voice
    Em7/F#         G+G
That I don't want you to leave
  E minor 7Em7
I'm stretching out each note
     Em7/F#           G+G
'Cause I don't want to let you leave

Verse:
          Asus4Asus4      Cadd9Cadd9       G+G
I'm dreading the departures sign I know is around the curve
          Asus4Asus4       Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
I ask you which airline you fly you reply and we pull to the curb
        E minor 7Em7
I grab your suitcase, we embrace
    Cadd9Cadd9
But it rolls away you chase it
      G+G
Should have waited till it was secure
     E minor 7Em7
Oh let it roll into the street
     Em7/F#            G+G
Can't you see what I'm trying to avert
  E minor 7Em7
I'm stretching out each moment
     Em7/F#            G+G
'Cause I don't know when you'll return

         Asus4Asus4     Cadd9Cadd9            G+G
As soon as I get home, I get a note your flight has been delayed
         Asus4Asus4                Cadd9Cadd9           G+G
And now we're all alone, wish I'd known, we could have passed the time at baggage claim
      E minor 7Em7
Instead I'm cursin' out the specious TSA
     Cadd9Cadd9
It's so egregious
     G+G
That I'm not allowed to wait at your gate
   E minor 7Em7
Oh I know it's not their fault
   Em7/F#            G+G
But I wish that I could have stayed
 E minor 7Em7
I know it's not your fault
   Em7/F#             G+G
But I wish that you could have stayed

E minor 7Em7 Em7/F# G+G

   E minor 7Em7
We forget how much we miss it
      Em7/F#
when we're too busy to visit
     G+G
but that isn't how it's supposed to be
   E minor 7Em7
oh I hope I'll see you soon
   Em7/F#         G+G
but I wish you didn't have to leave
