[Verse 1]
D
I left on a jetplane for faraway lands
D
My expectations are much less than grand
F#m G
'Cause I'm sitting here next to this overdressed man
D G
And I only want you next to me
D
Well you know I love flying, especially at night
D
And I asked for the window, but I got the isle
F#m G
And I'm grumbling next to this overdressed guy
D A
And I only want you next to me
G A D D G G
Yes I only want you next to me
[Interlude]
D D G G
[Verse 2]
D
Now this highroad I've taken, this distance that kills
D
Would be easier traveled if not for the guilt
F#m G
'Cause it ain't circumstances that drove us to this
D G
No I chose to be flying away
D
But that really don't matter that much I suppose
D
In light of the distance between us that grows
F#m G
'Cause I'm here and you're there now and all that I know
D A
Is I don't want to be on this plane
G A D D G G
No I don't want to be on this plane
[Interlude]
D D G G
[Verse 3]
D
Now these clouds appear solid, but the plane barrels through
D
An illusion of substance without any truth
F#m G
So I'll rest on your wings Lord and savor the view
D G
And I won't let my fear in the way
D
And I'll try to consider it joy while I'm here
D
'Cause I read that I'm blessed if I persevere
F#m G
God fashions a crown from the pain and the tears
D A
And he carries us all of the way
G A D D G G
Oh, yes he carries me all of the way
[Interlude]
D D G G
[Verse 4]
D
Now the thing about airplanes I notice this time
D
Is you can't look ahead and you can't look behind
F#m G
But you can see where you are when you look out the side
D G
You can try to recover some peace
D
And these thundering mountains all cottony white
D
The works of my maker I'm flying beside
F#m G
But I can't hardly see past this overdressed guy
D A
Oh, I only want you next to me
G A D D G G
So Jamie I only want you next to me
