Verse:
D\t\t\t\tDsus2\t\tG
Another morning that you're stirring at the crack of dawn
D\t\t\tDsus2\t\t\tG
I lie there doing nothing, flinching when the light comes on
D\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDsus2
You're checking things against a list to make sure nothing has been missed
\tG
Your passport and your boarding pass
\t\tG-
You always leave them out til last

D\tDsus2\tG

Chorus:
\tD\t\tBm\tG \tD\tG
And I'm puffy eyed and I'm not much use
\tA\t\tD \t    G \t A    D
But you manage to be patient as you pass my shoes

D\tDsus2\tG

Verse:
D\t\t\t\tDsus2\t\tG
Another morning that we're rushing out into the car
D\t\t\t\tDsus2\t\t\t   G
The day will come when we leave in enough time but it's not so far
D\t\t\t\tDsus2
So in the midst of all of this, I forget to steal a kiss
G
To hold your hand and tell you you don't understand how you'll be missed

D\tDsus2\tG

Chorus:
D\t\t\t      Bm     G \t  D\t\tG
So I hang around til you've checked your bags
\tD\t\tG \t\tD
You won't get rid of me til security

D\tDsus2\tG

\tD   \t\tG \tD
And you hold your dreams with mine
\tA \tG \tD
And I hold yours too because
\tA \tBm
I will take my chances
\tG \tD
On your wood shoe dances
\tBm\t\tD \tG
Cos nothing else makes sense the way this does
\tA \t\tBm
It's the life we have chosen
\tG \t\tD
It's the life that has chosen us

D\tDsus2\tG

Verse:
D\t\t\t\tDsus2\t\tG
So take care darling then and let me know you land okay
D\t\t\tDsus2\t\t\t\tG
I'll head back home and watch my phone until I know you got there safe
D
And then we'll steal a moment now and then
Dsus2
To hear each other's voice again
G
Adding up the hours ahead to talk before we go to bed

D \t\t\tBm \tG \t  A \tD
And it's the same old words for the same old love
Bm \t\tG \tD
That never quite feel big enough

D\tDsus2\tG

\tD   \tG \tD
And we'll do the best we can
\tA \tG \tD
With faces on a screen
\tA \tBm
But it's more gigantic
\tG \tD
Than the whole Atlantic
\tBm \tD \tG
And any other ocean in beween
\tA  \t\tBm
Not the love I have chosen
\tG \t\tD
But the love that has chosen me

D\tDsus2\tG

D\t\tDsus2\t\t\t\t\tG
So I'll keep the homefires burning darling waiting for your return
D\t\tDsus2\t\t\t\t\tG
And soon enough the time will come to pack my bags and take my turn
D\t\t\t\tDsus2
But no amount of sky any water stands between the bricks and mortar
G
Where my true love's flesh and bones, that will always be my home

D\tDsus2\tG

D   \t\tG \tD
And we'll make our own mistakes
\tA \tG \tD
Just like everyone does
\tA \tBm
You can take your chances,
\tG \tD
I don't have the answers
\tBm \tD \tG
But we'll work it out as we go on because
\tA  \tBm
It's the love we have chosen,
\tG \tD
it's the love that has chosen us

D\tDsus2\tG

\tD \t\tG
So just let me know when you land okay
