[Verse 1]
C     (C)         F      G      
14A, window seat, tennis shoes 
   Am
and faded jeans.
C              F             
Nervous as he tells me it's his 
     C              G
first time on a plane.
C               (C)               
We took off and headed East, I was
 F        G           Am
 thumbing through the magazines.
C              F           C    
  He felt like talking and 
              G
offered me his name.

[Pre-Chorus]
     F         C      Gsus4
So I asked him how he was
       F          C         Dm
And he smiled and said, Well son,

[Chorus]
          F                 C
I've been better, I've been worse
      Am                  G
I've chased after pretty girls
F             C             Dm
Seen a couple places that I never 
though I'd see
     F                  C         
I've walked into harder times, and
             G      G#dim  Am
 I've walked out the other side
         F               C     
It seems like you end up getting 
           F
what you need
F                       C      F
Yeah, looking down from 30,000 
                          C
feet, life's been good to me

[Verse 2]
C                            F   
I've been out a month or so, 
    G       Am
another night, another show
C                     F           
One hundred different cities, they
 C                 G
 all just seem the same
C                                 
He asked me what it must be like, 
F       G      Am
singing songs under the lights
C                  F             
Well, it's got its moments, just 
    C              G
the same as anything

[Pre-Chorus]
          F       C       G
I miss my town, I miss my wife
           F         C       Dm
But I'm up here with you tonight

[Chorus]
            F                C
I've been better, I've been worse
       Am              G
I have loved a pretty girl
F             C              Dm
Seen a couple places that I never 
though I'd see
     F                   C        
I've walked into harder times, and
             G      G#dim  Am

F                       C      F
Yeah, looking down from 30,000 
                           C
feet, life's been good to me

|C  C  |F - C  Am  |C   F  |C  G  |
                Good to me

[Bridge]
     F               Am          
Sometimes we can get lost living 
F              C
in the here and now
F                      Am       
Sometimes it takes the sky to 
Bb                  F
see what's on the ground
