Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
x2
Trumpet solo
Fig. 1 (over Verse chords)
Slow, and I can't wait
as the day turns inside out
Night falls on you darling, darling
it falls on me too
and I'm tired
and I can't sleep
but I try
so I can dream
You know, forever's awhile
and tomorrows still a night away
and it's late
and I just wanna go home
I fly over the sea
and the planes I see you
hanging on the wing darling, darling
holding onto me
Passed out in my room
your breath is sunny and warm
you know, forever's a while
and tomorrows still cold and gray
and it's late and I just wanna go home
Don't say you'll miss me
cuz I know you miss me
keep blowing me kisses over the phone
don't say you'll leave me
cuz I know you won't leave me
you know it took years for you to stay
I don't love you to death
but I'd die if you left
from state to state, you know I'd race
but nobody knows which exit is yours
Trumpet solo
/ x3
There is a place in the red light district
of your heart that I used to visit
It's been boarded
I can't afford it anymore
B (with Fig. 1)
End on B
Note:
Frankly, I can't tell if the intro/transition chords are B-B/A#-G#m-Em or B-F#/A#-
E/G#-Em. I think the first version sounds better, but whatever you like. One of
my favorite songs (and bands). Here's hoping Miles gets his new album out this year.
