1. Sitting out here on the hood of this truck looking up,

             D                                    G

    at a caramel colored sunset sky,

        D                                                               G

    checking my watch, doing the math in my head,

                                                  D                          G

    counting backwards from when you said goodbye.

                        Bm                                     C

    Well, those runway lights are getting brighter.

 

     G                                                 C              G                 C

    I'm just sitting out here watching airplanes, take off and fly,

     G                                                            C

    trying to figure out which one you might be on,

              G                  C

    and why you don't love me anymore,

             Em                         D                    C

    right now I'm sitting out here watching airplanes.   + D - G

 

         D                                                                   G

2. I would’ve lied, could’ve cried, should’ve tried harder,

               D                                 G

    done anything to make you stay.

                       D                                                     G

    I wonder what you'd do if you looked out your window

                          D                                      G

    and saw me running down the runway just like I was crazy.

                  Bm                                C

    But that fence is too high, so am I.

 

     G                                                 C              G                 C

    I'm just sitting out here watching airplanes, take off and fly,

     G                                                            C

    trying to figure out which one you might be on,

             G                   C

    and why you don't love me anymore.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         Em                             D                     A                    - C

    By now, I know, you're thirty thousand feet above me,

               F                     C         F                    C

    but a million miles away, a million miles away,

          Em                    D                         C

    by now, I know, I'd act like you don't love me. - - -

    now bye, bye, bye !

     G                                                 C

    I'm just sitting out here watching airplanes,
