Intro:
C  DM  G7  C


Verse 1:
C
Standing in the silent hall waitin' for the final call
                        G7
Says he doesn't love me anymore

Shaking hands I pack a bag, trembling voice I call a cab
                              C
Slowly I start walking to the door

The cab arrives he blows his horn, I stumble at in the early morn
                                  G7
Tell him of the place I've got to go

Passed a hundred signal lights, paid the bills and a traffic fine
                                           C
Gettin' through these doors that's been so slow


Chorus:
C7               F       G7                        C
LA International Airport where the big jet engines roar
                 DM        G7               C
LA International Airport I won't see him anymore


Verse 2:
C
The stewardess in a miniskirt, a hippie in a leather shirt
                               G7
I started on the way to Naples Rome
G7
While I'm wondering where it's at, I see a Paris diplomat
                                       C
Call his kids while trying to get back home

Baggage car goes quickly by, I see my case and start to cry
                            G7
Stumble to the lounge to be alone

And while I'm trying to get some rest, I bite my lips and try my best
                                         C
To fight the pain that's making me leave home


Chorus:
C7               F       G7                        C
LA International Airport where the big jet engines roar
                 DM        G7               C
LA International Airport I won't see him anymore


Verse 3:
C
With silver wings across the sky paper trails and wave goodbye
                                     G7
To those below who've got to stay at home
G7
I wish that I had flown at night so I could take that champagne flight
                           C
Rid myself of every tear I own
C
Soaring high above the heavens in a 747 fighting back the tears that curse my eyes
                                                    G7
Captain's voice so loud and clear amplifies into my ear
                                C
Assuring me I'm flying friendly skies


Chorus:
C7               F       G7                        C
LA International Airport where the big jet engines roar
                 DM        G7               C
LA International Airport I won't see him anymore
