Ten o'clock

        Am
Hang it up

Close and lock the door

Throttle back

Engines roar

Wheels up

And I miss you already

In the air

You are there

In my dreams

Until you're home again

I'm alone

I hear the silence bounce from wall to wall

I miss the way it feels

Ten hours of work provided

Adequate distraction

But now I  can't keep my mind off you

    Am                C/G
And wishing you were here

         Dm
They say  absence makes the heart grow fonder

    G7                        C
But   I cannot imagine being

              G/B
Fonder than I am of you

       Am             C/G
I'm in love with you

                    E5
Get a grip get more scotch

                    FM7
Wait forever on the tarmac

            C           G    C
I drift off thinking of you

                 Am
I wake at 30,000 feet

In a sea of darkness

Bb
Punctuated by a million

E5                      FM7
Distant city lights and stars

Be- cause   home is where the heart is

In your   green and pleasant land

              G/B           Am
Who knew that I could be so homesick

        C/G                 Dm
For a place I've never seen

Flying through the air

        G7
With my   transatlantic lammy and

  C                  G/B             Am
I  never thought I'd go this far for anyone

    C/G        Dm
But here I am

Closing the distance

    G7
At 500 miles an hour

        C             G/B
And I'm  counting the hours

          Am          C/G
Until I'm home again

'Cause where you are, wherever you are
