N.C.
Chasin' the sunset, headed west

Leavin' behind a girl, think it's for the best

what a mess
A# Gm
Feelin' my forehead burn, feel her in my chest

More than she could ever love me

And she was what I thought I was missing
A# Gm
She misses everything but me
Chorus:
D#
I'm a mile high (mile high, mile high)
Gm
But I've never felt so low
D#
So now I'm (now I'm, now I'm)

Lookin' out the window
D#
At the night sky (night sky, night sky)
Gm
And the clouds below

Wish you were mine (wish you were mine, wish you were mine)

(never know, no you'll never know, never know, no you'll never know)

In the glow of the streetlights when I had her with me

Landin' back in Omaha I pretend to know it all
D# A#
And tell my friends the protocol of living in the city
D# A#
Skyscrapers that grow too tall, subway trains, and concert halls
D# A#
But I never mention you at all, no girl from the city, yeah, oooh
Chorus:
D#
I'm a mile high (mile high, mile high)
